Watch your own planet shrink to a pale marble outside the window. It’s the easiest kind
of escape: close enough for a quick recharge, far enough to feel like leaving it all
behind. History waits too, at the untouched Luna 2 and Apollo 11 landing sites.

Mars
Bring boots built for real ground. Your trail leads up Olympus Mons, the tallest
mountain in the solar system and two and a half times the height of Everest.
Consider it the ultimate hike.

Europa
Smallest of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, Europa is one long winter. Its frozen
surface is built for skating, curling, hockey, or simply doing nothing at all
from a snug cabin window. Bring warm layers and an appetite for quiet.

Titan
Titan is the only moon with a dense atmosphere to rival Earth’s, a strange
kind of home away from home, just a few hundred degrees colder. Step outside
and Saturn’s rings fill the sky. Few views in the solar system come close.
