Homo S. Sapiens is the only terrestrial species able to turn any other species into pure chemical elements and consume as food. It anyway would be the last existing species on the Earth. If it's gone, the Earth a piece of inorganic matter.

They were able to lift 100+ t and dramatically reduce the number of orbital operations and improve the marsship structural integrity. -

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

Makes sense. As it's now proven that horoscopes don't work, why keep counting the stars instead of working? -
Catherine Zeta has banned this thread, as we never see her here.

They should be shooting without a pause, so the weight of the next one should be under reaction from the shot of the previous one. I just worry about the scale factor. Can we get enough sequoias?

Dragon was originally for Moon, Mars, Mars habitat, rocket landing, and whatever, Irl it just had been splashing from LEO and never tested at 11.2 km/s, like, say, the Soyuz (Zond) capsule was.. Its engines are heavy but puny things useless for both lunar flight and landing at lunar speed. but making itheavier, so worse for aerobraking and adding more stress in the hull. And as we can see, all claims about Dragons have been flushed down by SpaceX itself long ago in the name of Starship. Currently only talks about the lunar tourists are seen, for years and it's doubtful if they ever will get real. Say, the brutal Soviet rocketeers have launched several Zonds to the Moon and back before putting a brave cosmonaut inside. But where is at least one crewless lunar Dragon flight? Will a (US? JP?) billionaire be an equivalent of the Soviet lunar tortoises to test the capsule? Talks are cheap. Where? I don't talk about the hypergoilcs fear, it's all about the dockings themselves? Gemini/Apollo/Shuttle were docking manually. Cargo Dragons and Cygnuses are captured manually. Just several dockings of the lightweight Crew Dragon? Tens of docking ports and dockings to assemble a ship in orbit is a very optimistic way, The only two orbital assemblies ever assembled in orbit without hands are Mir (6 modules) and the Russian ISS segment (also ~6 modules), others were assembled manually. And even after the automatic docking, the integration required EVA. 80 ? Has the Canadarm-2 provided this number in all its life? Was it ever working without a human onboard? Currently it's as absolutely the way as N-1, Nova, Convair Nexus, Rombus, Sea Dragon, and a hundred of others were. Just those were spending mostly paper, while Starship and N-1 also metal. *** The only two rockets who ever could with great efforts were Saturn-V and Energy. Currently maybe SLS, as it uses tested equipment. -
Unlikely the natural evolution can evolve something bigger than dog anymore, because it would anyway intersect with human sphere of interest.

Crew Dragon looks closer to Soyuz than to Apollo in sense of shape. Of course, as always, we don't know anything concrete about its physical characteristics. With thin LEO heat protection and construction strength for 8 km/s air drag. If it was reinforced, it would become a worse Orion. How many dockings (not berthings) has US performed since Canadarm has appeared? But even how many berthings with humans onboard? At least one automatic docking ever performed by US? Anything like Lyappa ever made/used by US? 1000 / 15.6 ~= 60 docking procedures. 1. Such enormous docking number would just suddenly lead to a crash. 2. The construction of every module would be overweighted. 3. The construction in whole would be a toy of Kraken, shaking and pulsing at every motion. Falcon is same nothing for the Mars mission as Dragon. Currently just two ~2 t rovers have ever been landed. And several smaller ones. A 15.6 t module would deliver a tent for two, not a habitat. Nothing to do with Falcon here. 15.6 t is Salyut, appropriate for 3 months on LEO. Absolutely inappropriate for 3 year long ride. Nothing to do with Falcon here. If extraterrestrial invaders are going to occupy the Earth and it's the last human hope to foud a rebel base on Mars to revenge. SpaceX is nothing even close to what's needed for Mars. -
It's all we need. (As a Plan B to the Malstrom-Iceland launch tunnel.) No problem. A multistage trebuchet. The large trebuchet throws a smaller trebuchet, that one launches in flight the next one, and so on. I've already suggested this in the game section of the forum.

Klingons would just take twin bros, send one on Mars in a boat-sized capsule to film the TV live, then present another one for public three years later as returned. But humans don't seek easy ways. -

Just replace a thousand of on-ground telescopes with the personnel living in a nearby village and eating in McDonalds with a thousand of orbital telescopes enough reliable to spend decades in orbit without servicing (as there are no shuttles now). And 1 800 is just the very first 3% or so of all satellite networks planned. Interesting, who will keep funding the telescope construction and exploitation if the photos will be looking like a disco with stroboscope. -

So, tomorrow and the whole day after, most of us will be having a rest, doing nothing, and enjoying various idle entertainments. Though, this can't be said about the SpaceX tops who will spend all weekend long with wrenches, files, brushes, and brooms in the mechanical workshop. Please, during your weekend rest don't forget to recall these hard-working men and women, as this is a real example of a corporative brotherhood , leading the whole company to success.
