    At 5:51 a.m. EDT on Aug. 27, 2003, Mars will be within 34,646,418 miles (55,758,006 kilometers) of Earth. This will be the closest that Mars has come to our planet in nearly 60,000 years.

    I may be on holiday at the end of August.

    Does this mean I will have to wait 60,000 years for the 2287 event?
