Once we have a city on Mars, interplanetary travel will create a forcing function for vast improvements in spaceflight.

@lrocket Definitely for super high pressure tanks, but a stainless steel Starship is roughly similar in mass to a carbon fiber version (which is where we started out) and way cheaper/easier to make. Stainless gets that massive bump in strength at cryo and needs much less shielding for…

@yishan Space Exploration Technologies will make life multiplanetary, provided that country rivalries do not inhibit this outcome. The Starlink global communications system was built to fund that goal, which is why there is a Mars transfer orbit diagram on the Starlink Internet router.

@Robotbeat @justpaulinelol @Teslarati Sure. Have to do it on Mars from beginning. Will ultimately do that on Earth too, so rocket flights will be zero net carbon long-term.

@ajtourville @Tesla It was an interesting conversation. Combustion rockets are the best way to get to Mars in the short to medium term. There is perhaps some merit to a fission rocket shuttling between low Earth orbit and low Mars orbit, but chemical rockets are well-suited to getting to orbit,…

@aesposito__ @iamgingertrash I’m a fan of Peter, but he is not quite modeling my mind space accurately. Making life multiplanetary on Mars really is about preserving the light of consciousness. There is no political or personal agenda! If someone else was doing it, that would be great, but there isn’t 🤷‍♂️

@sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @Erdayastronaut @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab Some of the small launcher activity is cool, especially @rocketlab. Downsides are helicopter retrieval doesn’t scale to bigger rockets & is highly weather-dependent. Also, propulsive landing is needed for moon/Mars. That said, it’s probably right move for small LEO vehicle.

@martinengwicht @macodiseas @katlinegrey Exactly. That’s the critical point for Starship/BFR: more payload than the biggest rocket ever made, but for less money per launch than the smallest (orbital) rocket. Without something that lowers orbital flight cost by 100X, humanity will never be a multiplanet species.

@Space_Strategy @DJSnM Misses the point. Repeating Apollo would just be a sad remake of a great 60’s movie. We need to go far beyond Apollo and make life multiplanetary with Mars.
