      Fraser is absolutely plugged into the general vibe of Astronomy academia and rocketry. He’s been reporting on it for over 2 decades. I don’t know how anyone could say that he doesn’t have a leg to stand on. He’s interviewed so many of the people who have made important contributions to exciting new stuff
      I think Im willing to admit that fraser probably knows better and his points are at least worth considering.

    I love that Fraser is down for space stream. I've been telling EJ_SA for years now that we just need to band together and build our own cube sat for a rideshare. $275,000 for 50 kg and NanoRacks costs $90,000 per 1U CubeSat. Between that, launch insurance, and other incidentals it's like a million bucks total to launch a cube sat on a Falcon 9. I'm sure there's more incidental costs involved but it's nothing outside the realm of achievable for crowd funding.

      Elon said 50 years to colonize Mars with 1 million people. The Starship program has to work with the next 5-10 years in order to meet that goal and that’s with reusability 💯 nailed down. That’s realistic if you have people whom believe that goal IS possible.
      Your “generalizing” Elons words. While it may seem like that’s what he said, if you actually listen to his interviews he’s always said the same things. 1 million people, 1000 ships, flying every 3 days (or so), 50 years, he will be dead by the time Mars is fully colonized they way he thinks it should be. Mars must be self sustaining so that should any ships stop coming (from Earth) Mars will survive on its own.
      That is NOT possible within 10 years.
      Elon never stated it that way.
      The way you stated your information is false and give many the wrong type of data.

    The thing that multiplies the risks in the Starship project is there are high risk milestones that are interlocked with each other. Reusability has to be rapid or nothing else works. It has to meet payload goals or nothing else works. It has to be refueled in orbit or it's never going beyond Earth orbit and that depends on rapid reusability and payload. That's the simplified version of interlocking risks but they penetrate the second tier of risks as well

    I wonder if SpaceX is just too hyper focused on getting full reusablility before starting to use the system. Seems like they were just wrong about actually needing to quickly reuse the Starship for it to be cost efficient, pretty sure they are cheap enough to just make more Starships till even if it takes months to get it working it would still be way better than any other rocket. Just using it a bunch like that seems like it would be the best way to work towards full reusablility as you get faster at recovery.

    There is so much data that is needed before you can just yeet a colony to Mars, It's one of those things that an AI powered robot might be useful to help you figure out, because you are going to have to build under ground to have any real protection from the radiation. So figuring out how to dig large spaces under mars, and see how suitable it really is for that.

    while it would be complex and expensive to set up and maintain it would be less than a thousandth of the cost and and probably result in more than a thousandth of the scientific advances but in a different area.

    The moon makes a lot more sense in the short term. It is much closer. The technology needed for Mars would be largely the same and very similar. So, why not start with that? I think we'll find that we need 1G regularly in order to stay healthy. That will require spinning habitats. The best place for that would be underground, maybe in lava tubes. Once this and other technology makes us comfortable on the moon, then Mars will make more sense. Until then, there would be increasing robotic exploration missions to Mars and a few small human missions before the infrastructure for mass colonization can occur. I'm not sure Starship is fit to take people to Mars. I think something else needs to be designed with the intent of being assembled in orbit after being delivered by Starship. I think it would be a good idea for it to have artificial gravity. My cursory research leads me to believe that a ship designed to spin for artificial gravity should be big enough to have a radius of rotation for the main habitation area of at least 80 meters. This is to make the Coriolis effect tolerable. I have seen arguments that a shorter radius can be adapted to, but that seems less than ideal. For fun, I am trying to design a ship about 200 meters long and 40 meters wide, housing around 600 people going to and from Mars. It spins end over end. This is my version of Buzz Aldrin's Mars Cycler idea. Once that exists in numbers, Mars colonization would become possible for average humans. Thanks for reading :)

    Honestly, I don't like the way you approach this. I feel like you're taking extreme stupid examples and then saying therefore simple things won't happen. A base on Mars is NOT hundreds of years away, no way. I don't think Musk's "million people on Mars" will happen in his lifetime, and I think he knows it. Talking about gestation on Mras is like step 98 out of a hundred. The first people who go to Mars won't "struggle to survive", they will be small numbers, perhaps in the dozens initially, and they will have all the things they need to survive, similar to setting up a base in antarctica. Habitats will be sent without people first, as well as food, water, heavy machines to move earth (regolith) around etc etc. Initially humans will go, live in basic habs, and use machines to move regolith around, dig trenches to put more habs in and bury them as shields against radiation. Once these basic structures are built, more people will trickle in, more gear to expand habitation, provide more room for recreation and growing food, long range rovers to explore water deposits, landings there with gear to process ice and create fuel and oxygen. Once the basics are setup growth can expand exponentially. People that go won't be having families on Mars at first, they'll be people who don't want kids, and be prevented from having them until it can be determined it's safe. They aren't just going to send a bunch of people and say, "good luck guys, hope it all works out!" It will be carefully planned, at least in the beginning until science can be done about procreation.
