Manned Mission to Mars - How soon ?

Admit it, a manned mission to Mars is a tough one to achieved. You need a reasonably big ship to carry fuel, air, food and man himself. Once you set off, a thousand things can go wrong. A failed communication system will caused panic, as the crew will be totally cut off, imagined if you are 20 million km away from Earth. Or a failed engine, you will drift in space.

I think it’s best to first practice in near Earth space to build the expertise and experience needed to survive in space. It would be a great achievement for man if we succeeded to reach Mars before 1 Jan 2030!

SpaceX Starship first touchdown

SpaceX Starship 3rd ITF is likely in later part of March 2024, looking forward to the first successful touchdown of the both booster and Starship !  Controlling the engine sufficiently would be critical to achieving the landing either on land or at sea based platform.  Looking to see the first payload by the 5 or 6th launch. If the 3rd test can see the Starship coming back for a controlled landing, then progress should be fast. Should see at least 4 to 5 Starship flights or test in 2024.

Human need to move away from combustion engine

With the current technology, it’s difficult for human to think about moving away from combustion engine. It’s the only way they can think of that will generate sustainable energy to travel over distances! Generating sustainable energy without burning too much fuel is always the issue with transportation over significant distances! Or perhaps the fuel source is the issue with human travel!
