Olympus mons is 27km high-more than three times the height of Mount Everest. Mars needs human landing so would we get a benefit if we landed on olympus mons as our first landing? Would the height be a noticable advantage?

What does the "m" stand for in "27m"? – Organic Marble Apr 22 '20 at 14:01

I don't understand where the question is here, the title and the question text do not match up. – GdD Apr 22 '20 at 14:15

Landing on Olympus Mons would be very hard. It's 27 km high so a parachute would not slow you down enough. Any landing on Olympus Mons from orbit would have to be almost entirely propellant based. – Star Man Apr 22 '20 at 14:32

Does this answer your question? Olympus Mons - viable Mars landing site? – TooTea Apr 22 '20 at 15:18
