Study physics, and learn how to reason from principles versus analogy - Elon Musk.
It's take 10 minutes to orbit. With zero gravity no need for the rocket engine, all it needs a trajectory toward Mars and because no friction it will accelerate by itself or with small boosters when needed (the path of a projectile or/of objects moving through space). The equipments are powered by the solar panels. To return just do the reversed trajectory. It takes 6 months to Mars. Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes.
≈10 minutes to orbit with speed of March 25 and March 3 is just enough into space. Low earth orbit is 220 miles km of the sea level.
