I think they are, for reasonable values of legality, in that they
predict where Mars will be when an astronaut reaches it, given when he
leaves Earth, and where Earth will be and when to leave Mars in order to
reach it. That they are an approximation because the theory they are
based on is incompletely accurate is another matter.
