I moved to Canada for three years, and I was not the same person when I returned. I noticed that I had become… three years older.

[Firestorm]

I am 67. I have enjoyed astronomy as a child and adult. I stayed up all night to watch the landing on the moon I hope I live long enough to see first steps on Mars. Right now my son is an airline pilot. His cockpit is very similar to a rocket for earths atmosphere. I am happy with his achievements. I still hope for Mars.

I don't think people comprehend the level of damage that the fine dust on mars will do to everything it touches, including your eyes and lungs; let alone equipment

[limbo]

As many, I always wanted to travel into space and explore other worlds. Nowadays, however, I look at Mars differently than I did back then. I see that it is a cold hostile desert and I have the feeling that we are not ready yet. I admire anyone who takes the journey and puts their life at risk.

Starship flaps are most definitely NOT to slow down its descent by any significant amount.
They are control surfaces designed to maintain the correct orientation throughout re-entry, and to stay on the right glide slope.

Yes, this trip will change you. When you travel for six months with a hundred passengers in an airtight spaceship, you'll have to endure a tremendously high concentration of farts and body odour in your atmosphere. My guess is that the first thing that will change permanently is your mood. Like never before you'll know what despair and regret mean, and that a long time before you even arrive on Mars.

As much as I'm excited to see the advances that SpaceX are making, I think a 2030 estimate for putting a human on mars is extremely optimistic. I'm more than happy to be proven wrong (in fact I'd be thrilled if I was) but 8 years seems like a laughably short amount of time to go from starship not even having its first orbital flight to taking humans to mars and back.

I doubt at least early on that our explorers will come back at all. Still people will volunteer. Brave folks. I have a lot of respect for people that are that dedicated.

"The first human will be walking on Mars within this decade", I doubt it. There are so many issues between radiation, mental health under small enclosed conditions, and creating a living environment in the most extreme hostile radioactive desert, it's downright ridiculous to think it's going to be solved in 10 years. We been saying "we'll have a man on mars very soon" 30 years ago.

Keep in mind all the interiors depicted are fan art. The HLS cabin is currently extremely mass-constrained so its unlikely we'll see anything like any of these dreams any time soon.

[wizzardofpaws]

I'm 67 and if it's going to happen, I just hope I am alive to see it.

[daveadams]

100 people in a tube for 6 months will be like "Lord of the flies" at the end of the journey 😎

[jefferythomas]

You literally just described what is essentially a 6 month long prison sentence in a prison shaped like a spaceship traveling through space, in the most elegant of ways I might add.

[calinculianu]

Sounds like hell. And then when you get there it's an environment harsher than Antarctica. Nope.. you go! :)

[somerandomedgyguy]

Good lord, I'm as excited as I am scared about the prospects of actually living on mars. It's not something I could possibly experience myself due to various reasons, but I sure am excited to see a human settlement on another planet or other structure in space. That's one thing I, soon 30, hope to be fortunate enough to see.

[kinngrimm]

"maybe this is something you do in your lifetime"
me looking down at my aging beerbelly ... nope

[tuttt]

"And if you wanna breathe, you gotta buy his air!"

[DaRealKing]

Can you imagine running out of water and/or food halfway there? Now that's a terrifying thought.

[glamdring]

These issues with time spent in space are why there are ongoing discussions about inducing a spin in each Starship as it makes the journey to Mars. It's common to see images of a dozen Starships flying in formation towards Mars. A more likely scenario will be a group of widely spaced Starships spinning end over end on their way towards Mars.

[Pleplerhep]

Starship is reusable sure, if you "re use" the scrap left after it has crashed. :P
