Delta v map of the solar system.

I just checked, I am wrong
not sure if they can get back though
probably from phobos

I don't think that's true actually, unless the aerobraking factors in more then I think

lotta delta-v needed to make it to europa's surface

until you have reusable rockets, that's gonna be expensive or a really small rover.

The reason we can't just throw everything into the sun is that it's an enormous waste of energy.

It's literally cheaper to dump our radioactive waste on the surface of Neptune than to throw it into the sun.

what the fuck is with the captchas now?

and now something actually about space exploration. The Delta-V required to go to various destinations in the solar system. This is the basis of all exploration mission planning.

Add numbers along the path to get the delta v you need. If the planets are aligned properly, you can use gravity assists to save some delta v. The cost of your rocket will be roughly proportional to the exponent of delta v you need.
