Golf on Mars
The year is 2866. The planet Mars is 35% terraformed, finally enough to allow the playing of the game of.. Golf!<br /> <br /> Golf across an infinite* rocky Martian surface. Discover golfing obstacles that make us Earthlings gasp in awe!<br /> <br /> ---<br /> <br /> *Infinity is impossible to represent on any non-quantum computer. In actuality there are roughly 25,770,000,000 golf holes in this game.<br /> <br /> In 2020, NASA will launch the Perseverance rover to search for life and golf on Mars. The journey there will take 200 days,<br /> If you were to play one hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds during that journey, you would only be able to complete 0.002% of the game (576000 holes).<br /> <br /> If you were a paleolithic hunter-gatherer gazing up at the Red planet one night during your traversal of the ice bridge connecting Russia to Alaska<br /> at the last glacial maximum 24515 years ago and a time traveler brought an iPhone for you and your tribe to ritually play a hole of Golf On Mars every 30 seconds,<br /> it would take until the present day to complete all the holes.<br /> <br /> But this is not a realistic simulation.<br /> <br /> For example, if the ball is 16 pixels wide on your screen then the typical hole will be 1200 pixels away.<br /> Scaling this to the size of a real ball (1.68 inches), it's as if the hole is only 3.5 yards away!<br /> <br /> A realistic 18 hole golf course where the fairways are 3.5 yards away would only require about 1300 square feet of land.<br /> However, gravity on Mars is 38% that of Earth's gravity, so you could hit a ball 7 times farther, or roughly 1400 yards for a good player.<br /> This 18 hole course then needs to be to 64000 square feet. You could cover the entire surface of Mars with 241 billion of these golf courses.<br /> <br /> Therefore, you could easily fit all the holes in Golf On Mars on the surface of Mars.<br /> <br /> Mars is par 3, so aim to finish in under 77 billion strokes.
