Isn't Method B Method C (edit: fixed my error) the trajectory where you get a gravitational boost from Venus? Just asking.

You did a lot of work on this post so have an upvote for the dedication and enthusiasm.

Good luck with your future career whatever you decide it will be.

It is actually C. If you check the second video at 15th second you can see the rocket reaching the Mars in the opposition spot.

@alexdory my professors advised whenever I have some not common terms in my presentation to introduce it to the listeners. :) with this image it would be easier for people without knowledge of planet positions to understand.
All the best, Cheers :)

Yeah, you're right. I meant to say Method C. Thx.
