SpaceX Starship The Mission to Mars (Mission Overview)

In this animation we will briefly look at one of the ways starship can get to Mars. We will also compare earth to mars and see how many similarities the two planets share!

Please keep in mind this animation is a brief overview of the physics and of the orbital maneuver required to get to mars.

Very good video, a huge misconception for non-space nerds is that you literally fly straight to Mars, or the Moon, when you want to get there. It's great to have short videos like this that helps people comprehend just how many variables there are to consider

The 6-month transfer described in the video is not actually the minimum delta-v Hohmann trajectory. The Hohmann transer would take about 9 months. The 6-month transfer already has a trajectory that intersects rather than touches the Mars orbit. The reason the 6-month transfer is favored for a manned mission is that it allows for a free return in case something goes wrong during the mission and the crew decides to return without landing on Mars.

My name is Akash. I am a student. I need and must to score good marks in all these subjects- Adobe illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, after effects and maya topics. These computer practicals are as follows- 1) how we can create or do hair curve animation in illustrator. 2) how we can create or do hair curve animation in illustrator. 3) how we can create or do eyes curve animation easily in illustrator. 4) how we can do or create logo's animations easily in illustrator. Photoshop practicals are - 1) how we can create the background easily in Photoshop. 2) how we can remove the background animation easily in Photoshop. 3) how we can delete the background animation easily in Photoshop. The after affects practicals are- 1) how we can create or do number animations easily in after effects. 2) how we can create or do car animation easily in after effects. 3) how we can create or do bus animation easily in after effects. 4) how we can create or do plane animation in after effects. 5) how we can create or do animation in after effects. Thank you sir.

2:46 The booster never reaches orbit, stage separation happens well below orbital velocity. Fun video though. Looking forward to more.

[bobm]

Very well and the details are quite clear. Thank you.

Super awesome video yo!
It reminds me of the part in Farscape when he enables huge exit velocities by overcoming atmospheric friction? (I think it was?) Love that Show!!!

I suggest you look into the tyranny of the rocket equation on why adding delta-v isn't a simple answer.

And if you miss mars you go straight to jupiter 😅

[TheCNYMike]

So Musk's plan hinges on something that hasn't flown successfully as of this date using the most fuel-efficient orbit it can and having to burn a ridiculous amount of fuel to slow down. And even with orbital refueling, you still have to get that fuel off the ground.

Why would anyone want to live on Mars, though? Leave the exploration of the red planet to robots.

So wasteful that basically neva gonna happen. Conceptually an educational vid but title is is clickbait'ish.
