9:00 min. "Are YOU ready to witness history in the making?" Well, DAMM!!! I've been ready since 1969 when human kind first stepped on the moon and Mars was the next logical step!!! It's about time...I'm not getting any younger and I would love to still be alive to see humans on Mars!
Shouldn't they land on the Moon first before planning on going to Mars? Heck, they haven't even done a full orbit around the Earth, nor a fluid refill. Gotta walk before you can run!
I'm surprised SpaceX hasn't done this. A mini starship that they could use test and development on and possibly a commercial product that could be launched from falcon heavy.
A Mini Starship? Obviously this is just a Proposition but the benefits that’ll be Lost if a Smaller Starship variant gets used is simply not worth it. Them bringing Lesser amounts of Resources and Technology to Mars is stupid. The Boosters will keep getting Stronger and Faster and Lighter (Hopefully) alongside the Normal ‘Big’ Starship until the Boosters are replaced by a Nuclear Fusion/Electrically powered System thus mitigating the Issues you pointed out. A Smaller ship means a lesser payload and that means shooting yourselves in the foot considering a Gazillion things could go wrong & now you CANNOT fix it because you didn’t find it necessary to pack the extra stuff using a bigger ship. You see my point, Don’t you? I also believe that anything over 10 Crew-mates will be *Overkill* as 10 is already too high, 8 Sounds Perfect tho. Every Advantage matters. Size matters. The Problems you mention do not Validate the use of a Mini Starship.
* Use Starships to deploy methane/lox generators, tools, supplies and living quarters. * Then send a smaller crew Ship using Falcon Heavy to locate/capture water. * Once facilities are established, Starship can send full crews.
SpaceX~ mini-Starships it's nice to augment eyeview. Plus, NASA has forwarded of awarding such contracts to private companies replacing ISS. Wishfully, SpaceX were one among them. Good morning 🙏 🌄 kev ✨️and my goodnite 😴 💤 ~ 😽
I think about trying to land a craft that is 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall. The size would make the ship sluggish and difficult to maneuver, but once you are down, the amount of tools you could carry on the outer layers could build a large base in days. You could have a skid steer loader, excavator, and dozer in those layers. Other items would be an inflatable tent with an exoskeleton, electric cars, and atmo tanks. The idea would be to build a 10 foot diameter lander ship that can launch back to orbit.
4:22 It would not be a challenge to find 100 people to go to mars! The non-profit Mars One Foundation hopes to send teams of four spaceflyers on one-way Mars colony missions starting in 2023. Its initial 19-week application window closed on Aug. 31, with a final tally of 202,586 volunteers.
Rather than launching it inside the larger starship, why don’t they introduce a “neck-down” stage adapter? They frequently do that with stages that have different diameters. This way they can save even more mass at launch.
Their "mini" wouldn't use it's engines or any of it's fuel until it was in LEO. Basically it's a third stage carried inside the second stage instead of on top. By making it the second stage, you'd need to perform an orbital refueling which is something that seems to give lots of people the heebie jeebies despite the fact that SpaceX actually tested the transfer of fuel from tank to tank and were successful at it. The funny thing is, the mini isn't needed. Reduce the mass carried by Starship to the 25 tons and the crew of six proposed for the mini and it's likely a fully refueled Starship could not only land on Mars but take off again and that crew of six would probably be grateful for all the additional space in the craft. This video seems to assume that the mini would be cheaper to develop which is just wrong. Everything a full Starship needs will be needed by mini and have to be crammed into a smaller space. The whole purpose of Starship is to carry LOTS of people and HUGE amounts of cargo because it's intended to colonize Mars, not just plant the flag and say "We went there!".
The nuclear reactor and the nuclear thermal rockets is where this needs to go. The chemical rockets and solar panels are pure fantasy and will fail miserably😂👍
Maybe we need to break the trip to Mars and back into smaller segments and specialize the ships for each segment 1. Starship is currently optimized for Earth to LEO flights. 2. Develop an Aldrin Mars cycler to transport to Mars efficiently. Requires method inbound to bleed velocity to land and accelerate to hitch a ride outbound. 3. Develop a Mars ship optimized for Mars operations. Having one ship to do all compromises design for each segment. Review the history of USAF's F-111 Ardvark. It did multiple missions - poorly
There is no need to use LH2 as the propellant in a nuclear thermal rocket. While it would enhance the ISP of the rocket, using ordinary water as the propellent eliminates all the many, MANY attendant problems using LH2 for long term use in space. Water is stable, not so susceptible to boil off, dense, and sufficiently low in molecular weight such that an acceptably high ISP can be achieved. And it's an excellent coolant too!
I think another possibility is not to send humans but robots (Optimus V3 or 4) that could do the same tasks as humans but more expendables than humans and with many benefits. Robots can start building the habitats and when is ready for humans than send humans....
How about more ion thrusters on the spaceship drawings...(Galactica style lol)more ion drivers would increase speed n power..but I only see 5tiny ones max😊
If they really want to make us multi planetary, we need to focus on in-space ship manufacturing. Once we can manufacture space cargo ships in the vacuum of space and just use these cargo ships, they do not have to land on Mars just get to Orbit unload and return. It does not have to be fast just a steady stream of them. Shape of the ship does not matter if manufactured in space.
Maybe to travel to the Moon and Mars there would be the main Starship with the astronauts onboard and then attach one or two Starships that are configured similar to a Booster designed to be a Starship Booster full of propellent which will be the main propulsion system for the two or three joined Starships to reach the Moon or Mars. Then the Starship Boosters could be arranged to be disconnected from the main Starship to land on the moon to be used into something else or stay in orbit and used as a communication satellite or stay in orbit ready to reconnect with the main Starship that have landed on the Moon then returns to orbit reconnects with the Starship Booster for return to Earth. Maybe they could use a spacecraft similar to SpaceX Dragon for the astronauts that would land on the Moon attached to a landing orbital frame that would be left on the Moon for SpaceX Dragon to ascend and descend from and onto.
Lock heat tiles together like puzzle pieces. Give up on vtol supersonic electric, Horton flying wing with ducted pusher propeller, (short) takeoff. Government doesn't want people supersonic anyway. Think Henery Ford, one in every garage...
You would do that, but then as you approach Mars you better turn your ship around, light the engines and burn the same amount of fuel as you did to get up to speed when you left Earth. I would send a couple of fuel tankers ahead to Mars at a slower speed so that there is plenty fuel left over for the crewed Starship coming later.
No one knows what Musk is really thinking/planning for a Man to Mars mission. A reliable means of returning to earth has to be a primary goal and it is nonsense to make it depend on manufacture of fuel on a foreign world. This mini-me Starship is essentially a 3rd stage of the rocket. Perhaps a manned mission should not even depart until refueling from a Mars orbiting tanker has been emplaced and a cargo ship is waiting intact and ready on the Mars surface. The lander for Mars should NOT be a 26 ton 3rd Stage, it should be a minimal (3 ton?) lander that slows, descends and drops a 1/2 ton crew capsule encased in an airbag and sky craned to the surface by the same system that landed the Mars rovers. The crew exits and is met by a robotic rover offering life support and a ride to the established Mars base = the intact cargo ship that will never fly again, but it has a ready to go crew capsul to return the visitors to orbit where they dock with the now refuelled in orbit mini-me Starship. Much like it was done for the original Moon mission. Your return ship awaits you in orbit and does not burn tons of fuel to land on the surface. Wanna make it surer and safer? Duplicate all of the above. Two cargo ships safely waiting on the surface at Mars base. Two manned ships depart at the same time. Both crews can fit in whatever lander and return to orbit module and return ship is capable. Double redundancy of everything including supplies of food, water, energy generation, equipment for oxygen and methane or hydrogen production. Nuclear and solar power sources. Live in a habitat inside an existing cave or make a cave tunnel with explosives and cement it with thick ice. Spend a year and a half wondering if you will die there, need rescue or manage to safely return = no pressure!
Why couldn't someone develop a carbon monoxide / oxygen rocket engine to land on Mars? It would be much easier to make such fuel directly from the Martian atmosphere, no mining of water needed.
I agree. If you think you can make fuel, oxygen, drinkable and irrigation water to grow plants and make and live in a habitat - do it on the moon first. It is just 5 days away instead of 6 months and you can make an emergency return to earth at any time instead of waiting a year and a half for a Mars window flight. If we are going to play Musk's favourite game of move fast and break things, then the moon is best. You could do 100 iterative moon shots in the time it takes to do a single Mars mission that might fail on the 1st try.
I actually think it is fear of failure and setbacks on establishing a moon base, that drives Musk to want to go to Mars first = get there before we find out it is too hard to do it. A moon base will be very challenging and until you do it there, you won't know if you can do it on Mars. The ISS proves long space missions are humanly possible, if you bring everything you need with you. It is a different matter if you need to make the fuel for your return journey and grow the food to sustain yourself and maintain a powerplant for a couple years, while you wait for a flight window to return to earth from Mars. Go right now to an isolated base in the Arctic and try it all out there. Can you make your food, fuel and oxygen there and sustain yourself for 2 years? Does your habitat, solar cells and nuclear power source and Mars rover keep working in the Arctic without outside assistance for 2 years? You don't have to die on the moon or Mars to find out! NASA and the rest have not done it, because they know failure here on earth means no budget for the moon or Mars.

Musk is so concerned with his ego and "let's go big" attitude, he is blinkered to this kind of sensible design because he wants his mini empire, hell he supported Trump, nothing more needy be said really!!
Very interesting idea! However, I doubt that Elon, the designer of the cyber truck turd that is as useless as it is ugly, would ever allow SpaceX engineers to think creatively along these lines. I hope I’m wrong!
@ I’m hoping that you meant “check out” this idea rather than keep this idea from ever happening. We might have some hope that SpaceX engineers will check out this idea because after years of needless delays, they have finally designed and built a larger payload fairing for the falcon heavy Rocket. If I’m not mistaken, Elon specifically stopped the creation of a larger fairing for falcon heavy in the past because he claimed it would be a needless waste of resources because the starship would be up and ready in just a year or two.
@@wbwarren57Keep seething 😂 You type of people will still keep yelling ‘Mars is a Pipe Dream, Musk is a Idiot!’ just 4 minutes before Starship lands ON Mars 😂 probably keep doing to even after we land. Get your Reddit naysayer ass outta here!
@ You are correct, starship could go to Mars. However, the starship will never reach Mars based on the cost estimate and schedules that Elon Musk likes to throw around. For starship to reach Mars, real engineers, engaged in pragmatic database thorough engineering will be needed. If starship reaches Mars, while musk is still alive, I have no doubt that he will try and take all the credit for the work of tens of thousands of other people. That is his one and only special skill.
@ While I agree you with you on the last part I definitely don’t fully agree on the rest. And it’s definitely financially feasible to pull it off. I assume you’re talking about the whole ‘20$\Per Kilo of Payload into space’ thing? I’d have you know that SpaceX has already brought down the price of Putting things in Space Ten Fold. From 1000$ to 100$ and 20$ isn’t that far off as is estimated by Experts. Another feat thought ‘Impossible’ achieved by those Gorgeously Brilliant Minds at SpaceX. SpaceX has repeatedly proven that they can make the ‘Impossible’ happen quicker than anyone else even if it’s at a Later than Promised Date. There’s also a Saying about this: ‘SpaceX turns the Impossible into The Late’. Elon had said by 2024 there would’ve been Men on Mars by now but obviously that didn’t happen, But right now 2030 seems like a Good Tipping point between Realism and Optimism for putting Men on Mars. Also while I do agree that Musk is a Attention who*e it’s not like he keeps his Employees at Gun point saying ‘Don’t you *DARE* take any credit for any work you’ve done! All that attention is mine!’ Those brilliant Minds simply don’t have a Social Following because they don’t care for such trivialities. If they wanted to they could easily open a Tiktok (after it’s Unbanned) and UA-cam/Insta account and gain Millions of Followers overnight. Nobody’s forcing them to remain Unknown.

Very simple build space station put fuel in space fill up from space station put electromagnetic strips in a bay use said bay with strips to launch rocket light rocket after you have lost momentum or are losing momentum
With a smaller starship could a massive solar sail transport system be made to save fuel on board
