Antibiotics cannot cure a root canal infection because the source of the infection is inside the tooth where there is no blood supply; without blood supply there is no mechanism to deliver antibiotics. The cure is the complete shaping, cleaning and obturation (sealing) of the contaminated root canal space.
Thanks for the A2A, Joseph Boyle. You've already gotten plenty of answers, but since they differ a bit, I may as well cast my vote. According to http://Space.com The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers. The farthest apart they can be is about 401 million km.
Earth and Mars Conjunction: On the opposite end of the scale, Mars and Earth can be 401 million km apart (249 million miles) when they are in opposition and both are at aphelion. The average distance between the two is 225 million km. When Mars and Earth are at their closest, you have your launch window.
