I was unable to find actual published numbers. The only figure I found is that a starship spec’d specifically for comfortably carrying crew members can carry about 100 people.
I think the reason I can’t find an answer to the general case is that you wouldn’t typically have any crew on board a starship that’s designed for cargo.
- ncmncm 4y agoThe 100 number is another lie. It has enough room for 200 on a transatlantic flight, but for a 9-month flight in space, you you need to carry a very great deal more stuff along. An overhead luggage bag each does not suffice. NASA figures are a maximum of 17 in that volume, and then only if you leave behind, e.g., spacesuits, and they sleep the whole way.

- ncmncm 4y agoReally? I need a source to explain why provisioning for a 9-month one-way spaceflight is different from a transatlantic flight with food and air where you open the door 8 hours later?
- skissane 4y agoWhen you make claims about “NASA figures”, it’s reasonable to ask you to cite/link to where those figures are published.
- ncmncm 4y agoThere is a detailed debunking on YT. It does make a dumb mistake insisting centrifugal gravity on the way wouldn't work
- skissane 4y agoI don't really trust YouTube videos. You mentioned "NASA figures", do you know where to find them on https://ntrs.nasa.gov/ https://ntrs.nasa.gov/ ? If NASA has actually done analysis on this, and made the results publicly available, I'd expect to find it published there (or else maybe in some journal article).
