“You can't just go straight to Mars. You have to create this elliptical orbit with Earth at one point and Mars at the other side at the far end of the ellipse. And then time where you are in that ellipse to intersect with Mars” https://t.co/WFhd5z4p81 ...

“Our eventual upgrade path is to build the successor to Saturn V, a super-heavy lift vehicle that could be used for setting up a moon base or doing a Mars mission. That would be the holy grail objective.”Elon Musk in 2003 predicting the Starship https://t.co/JDAmFMbCQ0 ...
