Then tell me how to land 100t on the moon or mars without solving any of these problems. Even if you want to put less then that on the moon, anything but a tin

Then tell me how to land 100t on the moon or mars without solving any of these problems.
Even if you want to put less then that on the moon, anything but a tiny lander still needs refueling and reusable launch.
- estearum 6mo agoI'm perfectly comfortable with not landing 100t of material on either the moon or Mars. Have yet to hear any compelling argument for why we should except that ermygoerrdd sci-fi!!!11!!
- panick21_ 6mo agoBecause a base for humans needs lots of cargo and large areas to live in ...
- estearum 6mo agoOh! We need a base because we need a base. Okay that solves it.
- panick21_ 6mo agoOk I misunderstood your argument. The fact is, its the governments planned to build a base. If your opinion is that instead we should build a base at the bottom of the ocean, you are correct, Starship is not a good engineering solution. In fact, anything not in space wouldn't be ideal. But that's a political choice, and Moon base is what NASA and congress are working towards.
