Come on guys, its called Elon Time for a reason. I'd say there is zero chance of a Starship heading to Mars in 2 years and the first one that does won't land in one piece. 6 years is a far more likely timeline and fits with Elon Time.
its open !
part of the issue is the air reserves. it was mentioned on live stream about not having enough spare air. and its a big volume to fill if something goes wrong.Technically all four space walked as the entire cabin was exposed to the vacuum of space. Yet another astonishing feat removing the need for an airlock entirely. I'd be interested what sort of effect that had on electronic devices, biological, like food and such and whatever else could be affected by a total vacuum.
Yep. Enough Nitrogen / Oxygen liquid mix to repressurise once. Still incredible, everything worked all to plan. I wonder how viable an airlock-less method is on future missions but then was not the same method used for the Apollo missions (Goes to find out).part of the issue is the air reserves. it was mentioned on live stream about not having enough spare air. and its a big volume to fill if something goes wrong.
maybe i miss heard that part?
I feel like SpaceX are literally sitting there twiddling their thumbs waiting for FAA now. Its like, ok so what do we do now? I mean they have no excuse for not being ready when they eventually get the go ahead I suppose.Starbase tower lifts the Super Heavy booster for Flight 5 to expected catch height
red white and blue, i got you covered i just need you to hold still fr 5minutesEach one needing up to 20 other starships to fuel them up with a system that hasn’t even been trialled yet. Colour me skeptical…

i think the US gov will try and slow it down, it'll be a bit embarrising a private company did something in the space of 10 years they havent done as a nation in over 50yrs.
you do have the issue of i orbit explosions causing a bad situation long term

Yep and will suffer from boil off all the time its sat in orbit. So unless they can launch those 20 refuel Starships fairly quickly it will just mean more launches as more and more fuel boils off. Are they really going to try and relaunch a Starship again within a few days or the booster? If not that is a lot of boosters and Starships required to make this happen.
