Here's a scale model of the Solar System guys

I had no idea Mars was that small and Venus was bigger than Earth. Growing up, all the scale models you see in person and on media depict Mars similar size to Earth. And Mercury and Venus are both smaller than Earth.

No, Venus and Earth are very nearly the same size, with Venus being about 5% smaller then Earth. Mars is a good bit smaller then either. I think you had Mars and Venus confused.

Venus IS smaller. Just barely, but it is smaller.
 
dang...we're never going to get anywhere significantly far from this rock. 🙁

Mostly because we keep slashing funding for space exploration and we keep having to justify the need for it to idiots. 😛

Course, if you're Chinese or Russian, you might make it to Mars. Just don't be on the first couple of space craft, you might 'disappear' en route. 😛
