You're an idiot. Mars was the closest it has been to Earth in 60,000+ years 2 years ago and it wasn't anywher near the size of the moon. In fact Mars is only twice the size of the moon so for it to appear the same size as the moon in the sky it would have to be only 500,000 miles away from earth. And if that happened the earth would be fucked.
