Thirty Seconds to Mars

Is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1998 by brothers Jared and Shannon Leto.

The band's name was taken by the members from an article by a former Harvard professor, which talked about technological progress, as a result of which mankind will soon literally be "thirty seconds from Mars". It is interesting to note that even with the speed of light the minimum distance from Earth to Mars (during the confrontation) cannot be overcome faster than 3 minutes.
