The name 30 SECONDS TO MARS has very little to do with space. It's a metaphore and a way to desribe the bands music. The name is coming from a thesis that the band found online that was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars'. The thesis talk about the expediential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars.
"For us, the name 30 Seconds To Mars has little to do with space, the universe or anything like that. It is a name that works on several different levels. Most importantly, it is a good representation of our sound. It's a phrase that is lyrical, suggestive, cinematic, and filled with immediacy. It has some sense of otherness to it. The concept of space is so overwhelming and all encompassing I doubt there is a song written that doesn't fall within it." - Jared
