    In a comment regarding the Boeing "Starliner", I believe it was Musk who said that the goal of SpaceX is to be able to launch the "Starship," or its equivalent, every day.

    Catch and release.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        If I had seen this 10 years ago, I would have laughed it off as impossible.

        But considering the accuracy, within a couple of meters, of the landings of the stage 1 boosters, it might just be doable.

        But, when things go south, and they will because space is hard, there's a lot of damage that can occur.

          Space requires some hard thinking.

          It’s been 45 years since humans first landed on the moon, and the world’s now wondering when people — not just adorable selfie-loving rovers — are going to head over to Mars.
          Buzz Aldrin seems confident a Mars colony will happen, based on a Reddit AMA the famed astronaut conducted this afternoon. Among other fascinating topics, like that time he met Tina Fey, Mr. Aldrin espoused his “very strong idea, concept, conviction, that the first human beings to land on Mars should not come back to Earth.”

            I have heard that too. Best results would be gained if it were a one way trip.

              It won’t be the Americans or Europeans. Our risk tolerance is too low, these days.

                WW III will accelerate the plan.

                    Possibly. My bet is the Indians.
