The spacex starship is climbing out of the development phrase further every launch and when it can reliably get to orbit then everything ramps up and elon can send his starlink in mass,send Artemis to the moon and go to mars while commercial companies see the reliability and low cost so those companies attempt space ventures that were previously hindered by cost and vehicle launch size.

@@ianvanessen2166 I *think* you're being sarcastic but just in case, the starship has to use most of its own fuel in order to reach orbit. The booster only gets it started but the ship provides most of the delta V. By the time is reaches orbit it will only have maybe 1/5th of its propellant left in the tanks, some of which is needed for re-entry and landing. If they manage to get it down to 5 refilling trips that would be impressive. More likely it will be even more than that.
If we even do land there, that means the military has been living there for the past 30 years. Just like 11, there is no way that nasa/spaceX going to embarrass the US in accidently killing astronauts landing on Mars. The military will already pre record the landing with its own people and then feed it to the sheep to watch, and they fill it in with photos filmed here in a film studio.

It's a waste of time. The moon is a far better choice for a base. The gravity of mars is only 38 percent of earth, it doesn't have a magnetosphere, and a round trip takes at least 21 months, whereas a round trip to the moon takes about 6 to 8 days. The effects of low gravity make it impossible for long term stays on both the Moon and Mars. And besides, we haven't even figured out how to get a biosphere to work here on earth yet. We'll be lucky to see a base anywhere in our lifetimes.

@@albertofoti4152 , no... that is to fuel up to go to Mars, like I said. It will need fuel launches for our moon as well. Apollo missions put less than 5% of its mass on our moon.

A lot of loaded fighter jets have to take off and immediately refuel air-to-air, because they wouldn't get off the ground with ordinance and a full tank. I hope this was helpful.
@@baekkistyle SpaceX said 14. What is the difference between Mars and our moon in regards to Starship? I'll answer that for you.

@@TheDwightMamba the one who needs to reach escape velocity to leave earth needs more fuel, basic physics mate, the fuel needed to get back from the moon is negligible. And the making enough fuel on Mars to go back is another hyperloop.

@@4Lucy_ Musk has already identified and addressed these issues. His plans very specifically take them into account. The issue here isn’t the SpaceX plane for going to Mars, it is the poorly written script for this video. Maybe you should check such facts before criticizing someone else.
It will actually take six to eight flights to refuel an interplanetary Starship in orbit. Cryogenic liquid fuels are heavier than water, and although the payload capacity of Starship is huge only a very small portion could actually be used for hauling fuel due simply to a limit on mass deliverable to LEO. Alternatively what could happen is SpaceX sends up fueling missions more or less constantly, refiling an orbital depot, and it's this depot that the outbound Starships mate with.
NASAs own estimates for a flight to the Moon, is 11-15 refuelling launches, for 1 landing on the Moon. Mars, sure, you can do some aerobreaking, etc. But also has significantly higher gravity for a propulsive landing. All this, and Starship hasn't even made it to orbit yet...
Good luck doing that with a spaceship that hasn't seen space even once and prefers to blow up on launch. It is absolutely pathetic that SpaceX is still struggling, in 2024, with technology the USSR perfected half a century ago.
@@jonesrichardmr NASA is working off Starship V1 and Jeff Bezos estimates. Spacex says 6-8. They are basing the estimate off the Starship V3 with massively greater fuel capacity.
@@gownerjones So. Everything you said is wrong... allow me: Spacex is profitable and will soon be Very, very profitable with Starlink adding the new e-band (already supported on 2k satellites to add backbone services to their network. Starship will allow a 10x rate of satellite capacity insertion within 12-24 months to add to this. In short, their budget will eclipse NASA in 2-3 years. Musk likes to blow up rockets in test to push the limits and find out as much as possible while perfecting Mass production of the rockets. That said. Missions 3 and 4 showed a successful insertion into a 200km orbit. Making a stable orbit from there wasn't helpful but would have been very, very easy. You're referring to much less capable USSR tech that they couldn't get to work (neither methane engines or the N-1 rocket). Nor was that reusable. Also: Spacex launched 98 times successfully other than early rocket tests of Starship. They put up more mass to orbit than the entire rest of the world combined in 2023. They are putting up 20% more this year Before Starship allows them to 5x that record in the next 2-3 years. Spacex owns most of the world's satellites and is highly profitable. So. You really need to read up before coming out with provably wrong statements.
There is a transfer window every two years. If at some point they include nuclear/ion propulsion on board it would allow other/longer launch windows too.
Mars orbit is longer and slower, we catch up to Mars every 2 years roughly. However looking at the simulations, I wonder if there is a nice window to travel back. Because Mars' orbit is farther from ours on one side of the sun and Earth seems to catch up to Mars on that side every time, this means that as Mars approaches the closer side of its orbit, Earth is already wizzing by. Making it easy to just drop off our orbit and be caught up my Mars, but not the other way round really. Except possibly during a 3-5 month window just before Earth catches up ,which I dont think is sufficient for the 7 month ride. Could be they will have to take some insane trajectory
Yes they do. Its two different processes (The Sabatier and Reverse something i cant recall off the top of my head) with a few steps each that converts CO2, H2O, a little extra H2 and a lot of energy into pure CH4 and O2. Its not too complicated and mostly just uses different heating techniques to both break down the said starting molecules and recombine them into the desired ones.
@@spuriouseffect To combat both the nay says here, They sent a roadster (built by Elons other main company), to Mars' orbital plane on their first attempt during a test flight... Anyone who nays these guys are simpletons.
For anyone curious the methane will be made from Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere and water-ice from the planet. Not a reach at all, and absolutely genius way to lower cost
Probably a dozen or so to refuel one Starship in LEO before heading for Mars _on its first interplanetary test flight._ And presumably there will be a dozen or so unmanned flights before it's human rated. Lot of money. Some would call it brute force, but if that's what it takes that's what it takes. Because Elon wants to be the man who made humanity interplanetary. 😊
I dont know if i call a bunch of single launches a "fleet" but yes there will be several launches to refuel it. It could be done with a single vehicle. So fleet might be inaccurate. Your wink makes it clear that you are suggesting they are hiding something here. Its inaccurate in its simplicity of the process sure, but its a simple concept video and its accurate as such.
What if we managed to get a settlement on the moon? If we did that we could launch the mission to Mars from the moon which would require FAR less fuel. @@reiniermoreno1653
I dont know about a "key thing". Its just part of the plan.. Its necessary sure, so is every other step in the process. But its not one of the hard parts of the plan. It will just become a routine thing like the starlink launches that happen up to three times in a day.
Even the apollo missions didn't have all the failures starshit has gone through,not even during development and test. It's an embarrassment. suck it up, elon fsnboys.
@@ernestosiguenza629ion like elon but thats a moot point homie, this is kinda an entirely different thing than trying to land on the moon. im sure his giant ego is causing a lot of issues for his techs, i mean they pretty much told us that it does, but the Apollo program and this have some pretty different objectives and difficulties to overcome.

You don’t mention the Mars transfer window, which occurs approximately every 26 months. During this time, Earth and Mars align in a way that minimizes the energy needed for interplanetary travel. Using this window, a trip to Mars would take 6-9 months under ideal conditions. To prepare, rockets should first deliver thousands of tons of equipment, food, and materials for structures years before sending astronauts. This ensures supplies are ready upon their arrival. Astronauts must understand this is likely a one-way trip, as self-sufficiency on Mars will take 10-15 years. Initially, they’ll depend on Earth for resupply. In emergencies, help could take years due to the launch window and travel time, leaving the crew to survive independently for extended periods. Also if you are a man you should freeze your sperm and if a woman you should freeze your eggs because with the radiation you might become infertile, I can pretty much guarantee it. This is like when settlers were expanding to the West in America and thousands died, it’s about the same thing, is the new frontier but 10 times harder because of the conditions in Mars.
So much hate coming from the comments, but this is actually a pretty accurate (simplified) depiction of SpaceX's plan to go to Mars. A less simplified version with more accurate minor details can be found in resources such as SpaceX's website.
BS! With the load capacity to get into orbit, it would need at least 10 filling trips. Please guys do your math instead of believing a commercial homepage!
@@MarkusSchellenberg-wi6bw I just said this video isn't useful for knowing the details. The target audience for this video is probably people who know almost nothing about the Starship system.
For everyone complaining about the starship already on mars: it’s because time goes in reverse on mars. The ship leaves at the same time it arrives because it landed then went back in time a little.
The part you got wrong is- The crewed starship has to meet up (in orbit) To top off the fuel tanks with *EIGHT STARSHIP TANKERS* once eight fuel transfers have been completed the crewed starship can start its journey to Mars. Elon makes it sound trivial in regards to creating rocket fuel from the Mars resources. If creating rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere and regolith (AKA dirt) is viable. Then why hasn't he created his own jet fuel on Earth?
I did think they put up one tanker starship that gets refueled by many other tankers until full, after that launch the crew starship and transfer all the fuel they need from the tanker in orbit. Starship doesn't use "jet fuel" as a propellant...
@@pada443 My Dear Pa da you should watch the experiment if a feather and fan in a vacuum chamber! Newton has been proved wrong on many occasions. Maybe you should keep up with science of today not yesterdays?
But it should be more reliable. That is undoubtedly a good idea I never thought of that. But if the "tanker" misses the trajectory it could explode or go elsewhere or if the tanker is trying to catch up it will face fuel expenditure so it will spend most of its fuel catching up
We currently send manned flights to the ISS on a regular basis and don't have humans just out floating in space or crashing into things due to "missed trajectories". Why do you think it would happen with a fuel payload?
exit from the right side of earth > go straight > since there's no gravity in space to pull the rocket downward, you don't need much energy, just float > the you enter Mars from the left. But to do this you might need to launch from Brazil
Its only beyond belief for those that have no idea what it takes... Its not that difficult and only takes two processes to do so. Using CO2, water and a little supplemental hydrogen. And a lot of energy... But when its going to be done by a company that can take hundreds of tons per vehicle and just happens to be run by a person that also started a solar company and another that makes more batteries then almost anyone, its not even a problem, its just part of the plan.
Well nobody knows the number its gunna take to refuel but that is irrelevant. And to be clear going to Mars takes hardly any more fuel than going to the moon. Escaping Earths influence takes 90+% of that fuel and you have to do so in both cases.
@Vatsyayana87 NASA said up to 20 refuels for starship. Nasa made it to the moon in 1 launch, and Blue origin will only do it 1. Not a spacex hater but don't underestimate the difficulty of this
Also when nasa went to the moon, they only put a lander on the moon. The ship stayed in orbit. And they hard landed back on earthy sacrificing the landing vehicle to dissipate heat. 2 refuels might make sense. 1 to get to the moon and land, the second on the way back to have enough fuel to land safely. I’d guess there is a good chance that maybe required for mars as well. One refuel on mars, a second in earth orbit before landing. Still beats what NASA or blue Origin plan.
first man on mars is probably going to stay there forever. Thats 100% a one way ticket, but what a way to go, immortalized in history for all time. If I get a terminal illness, send me.

Elon just made someone draw it again in CGI, went on interviews to promote it. And now somehow people are actually stupid enough to believe this concept works without a good working model even having been made in all those years.
It's already been shown that Elon has tried to promote stupid sci-fi concepts in order to take away funding for other modes of transport and redirect them towards him like he did in Vegas. This is just another one of those.
@@airstrike9002yes I understand Adam something fans that Elon musks public transportation ideas are usually bad but when it comes to space travel he does know what he is talking about. Look at the falcon 9 for example it has already transformed the aerospace industry by lowers launch costs far lower than the expendable rockets that we have today and now many aerospace companies are now focusing on reusability to catch up. The spacex starship is climbing out of the development phrase further every launch and when it can reliably get to orbit then everything ramps up and elon can send his starlink in mass,send Artemis to the moon and go to mars while commercial companies see the reliability and low cost so those companies attempt space ventures that were previously hindered by cost and vehicle launch size.
Edit it doesn’t matter if you got these talking points from Adam something ,common sense skeptic or whoever else my point stands and btw it’s usually Adam something fans that repeat this.
A super big platform in space seems practical enough for me
It takes A LOT of tankers to refuel the Starship in orbit.
It's a Lie
Why? According to the diagram the starship in orbit hasn’t used any of its fuel. It should be at capacity
Current estimate says 5. Definitely more than 1 but not quite enough to justify the caps....
@@ianvanessen2166 I *think* you're being sarcastic but just in case, the starship has to use most of its own fuel in order to reach orbit. The booster only gets it started but the ship provides most of the delta V. By the time is reaches orbit it will only have maybe 1/5th of its propellant left in the tanks, some of which is needed for re-entry and landing. If they manage to get it down to 5 refilling trips that would be impressive. More likely it will be even more than that.

I'm fine with this Mars plan, we should always push forward.
It's a waste of time. The moon is a far better choice for a base. The gravity of mars is only 38 percent of earth, it doesn't have a magnetosphere, and a round trip takes at least 21 months, whereas a round trip to the moon takes about 6 to 8 days. The effects of low gravity make it impossible for long term stays on both the Moon and Mars. And besides, we haven't even figured out how to get a biosphere to work here on earth yet. We'll be lucky to see a base anywhere in our lifetimes.

If memory serves me correctly, SpaceX estimates up to 14 launches required to fuel up for the Earth to Mars leg.
that's for the moon.
For Mars you just can't, you need propellant production there, otherwise you're screwed
@@albertofoti4152 , no... that is to fuel up to go to Mars, like I said.
It will need fuel launches for our moon as well. Apollo missions put less than 5% of its mass on our moon. Starship is so much heavier. SpaceX essentially has to launch the craft empty. A lot of loaded fighter jets have to take off and immediately refuel air-to-air, because they wouldn't get off the ground with ordinance and a full tank.
I hope this was helpful.
NASA estimates at least 15 starships to go to the moon and you think 14 will get it to Mars?😂
@@baekkistyle SpaceX said 14.
What is the difference between Mars and our moon in regards to Starship? I'll answer that for you. One has the materials to make fuel for a return trip and the other does not.
You tell me which needs more fuel. Before you answer, just know that a rocket doesn't use it's thrust for the whole trip. They get up to speed and cruise until it's time to slow down.
@@TheDwightMamba the one who needs to reach escape velocity to leave earth needs more fuel, basic physics mate, the fuel needed to get back from the moon is negligible.
And the making enough fuel on Mars to go back is another hyperloop.
They should just launch robotic fuel tanks to Mars ahead of time, it would be a lot easier than having to refine methane to get back home

Easier to say than do only two countries ever made to a successful mars mission only one landed there that's with a hell lot of hardwork
Russia was the only human on the moon.What about good drinking water on earth?
It will actually take six to eight flights to refuel an interplanetary Starship in orbit. Cryogenic liquid fuels are heavier than water, and although the payload capacity of Starship is huge only a very small portion could actually be used for hauling fuel due simply to a limit on mass deliverable to LEO. Alternatively what could happen is SpaceX sends up fueling missions more or less constantly, refiling an orbital depot, and it's this depot that the outbound Starships mate with.
NASAs own estimates for a flight to the Moon, is 11-15 refuelling launches, for 1 landing on the Moon.
Mars, sure, you can do some aerobreaking, etc. But also has significantly higher gravity for a propulsive landing.
All this, and Starship hasn't even made it to orbit yet...
Good luck doing that with a spaceship that hasn't seen space even once and prefers to blow up on launch. It is absolutely pathetic that SpaceX is still struggling, in 2024, with technology the USSR perfected half a century ago.
@@jonesrichardmr NASA is working off Starship V1 and Jeff Bezos estimates. Spacex says 6-8. They are basing the estimate off the Starship V3 with massively greater fuel capacity.
@@gownerjones So. Everything you said is wrong... allow me:
Spacex is profitable and will soon be Very, very profitable with Starlink adding the new e-band (already supported on 2k satellites to add backbone services to their network. Starship will allow a 10x rate of satellite capacity insertion within 12-24 months to add to this. In short, their budget will eclipse NASA in 2-3 years.
Musk likes to blow up rockets in test to push the limits and find out as much as possible while perfecting Mass production of the rockets.
That said. Missions 3 and 4 showed a successful insertion into a 200km orbit. Making a stable orbit from there wasn't helpful but would have been very, very easy.
You're referring to much less capable USSR tech that they couldn't get to work (neither methane engines or the N-1 rocket). Nor was that reusable.
Also: Spacex launched 98 times successfully other than early rocket tests of Starship. They put up more mass to orbit than the entire rest of the world combined in 2023. They are putting up 20% more this year Before Starship allows them to 5x that record in the next 2-3 years.
Spacex owns most of the world's satellites and is highly profitable.

There is a transfer window every two years. If at some point they include nuclear/ion propulsion on board it would allow other/longer launch windows too.
Mars orbit is longer and slower, we catch up to Mars every 2 years roughly. However looking at the simulations, I wonder if there is a nice window to travel back. Because Mars' orbit is farther from ours on one side of the sun and Earth seems to catch up to Mars on that side every time, this means that as Mars approaches the closer side of its orbit, Earth is already wizzing by. Making it easy to just drop off our orbit and be caught up my Mars, but not the other way round really. Except possibly during a 3-5 month window just before Earth catches up ,which I dont think is sufficient for the 7 month ride. Could be they will have to take some insane trajectory
Also Mars is 20 000 kmh slower than Earth so you have less speed relative to both orbits.
@@blanco7726there is a window. I think it’s every 2.5 years on mars (if a year is a full rotation of the sun)
So for this to work, you have to build a methane fuel factory and refuling facility on Mars. Does SpaceX have a plan for that yet?
Yes they do.
Its two different processes (The Sabatier and Reverse something i cant recall off the top of my head) with a few steps each that converts CO2, H2O, a little extra H2 and a lot of energy into pure CH4 and O2.
Its not too complicated and mostly just uses different heating techniques to both break down the said starting molecules and recombine them into the desired ones.

They just fogot to mention that instead of a single starship tanker, there will be a fleet of them 😉
It is called process, in more simplified explanation, it means step by step...
Probably a dozen or so to refuel one Starship in LEO before heading for Mars _on its first interplanetary test flight._ And presumably there will be a dozen or so unmanned flights before it's human rated. Lot of money. Some would call it brute force, but if that's what it takes that's what it takes. Because Elon wants to be the man who made humanity interplanetary. 😊

Hello dear how are you doing?
You don’t mention the Mars transfer window, which occurs approximately every 26 months. During this time, Earth and Mars align in a way that minimizes the energy needed for interplanetary travel. Using this window, a trip to Mars would take 6-9 months under ideal conditions.
To prepare, rockets should first deliver thousands of tons of equipment, food, and materials for structures years before sending astronauts. This ensures supplies are ready upon their arrival.
Astronauts must understand this is likely a one-way trip, as self-sufficiency on Mars will take 10-15 years. Initially, they’ll depend on Earth for resupply. In emergencies, help could take years due to the launch window and travel time, leaving the crew to survive independently for extended periods.
Also if you are a man you should freeze your sperm and if a woman you should freeze your eggs because with the radiation you might become infertile, I can pretty much guarantee it. This is like when settlers were expanding to the West in America and thousands died, it’s about the same thing, is the new frontier but 10 times harder because of the conditions in Mars.

The part you got wrong is- The crewed starship has to meet up (in orbit) To top off the fuel tanks with *EIGHT STARSHIP TANKERS* once eight fuel transfers have been completed the crewed starship can start its journey to Mars. Elon makes it sound trivial in regards to creating rocket fuel from the Mars resources.
If creating rocket fuel from the Martian atmosphere and regolith (AKA dirt) is viable. Then why hasn't he created his own jet fuel on Earth?
The whole thing is BS! Rockets cannot produce forward momentum in a vacuum!
Because on Earth you can just order a delivery... That is, making it yourself is not necessarily the fastest nor cheapest way.
@Dave Wow are confidently incorrect. You should go back to gradeschool and learn about Newton's laws of motion.
I did think they put up one tanker starship that gets refueled by many other tankers until full, after that launch the crew starship and transfer all the fuel they need from the tanker in orbit.
Starship doesn't use "jet fuel" as a propellant...

"Then a miracle occured" Camouflaged in a sneaky manner .
But it should be more reliable. That is undoubtedly a good idea I never thought of that. But if the "tanker" misses the trajectory it could explode or go elsewhere or if the tanker is trying to catch up it will face fuel expenditure so it will spend most of its fuel catching up
We currently send manned flights to the ISS on a regular basis and don't have humans just out floating in space or crashing into things due to "missed trajectories". Why do you think it would happen with a fuel payload?
It's an oversimplification of the plan, but yes. This is basically it.

"Locally produced methane" might be the easy part, reentry and landing is very hard and just going to land on the moon will take over 16 refuelings.

Well nobody knows the number its gunna take to refuel but that is irrelevant. And to be clear going to Mars takes hardly any more fuel than going to the moon.
Escaping Earths influence takes 90+% of that fuel and you have to do so in both cases.

@@michaelvernon9459lol what? 20 to the moon? That doesn’t add up at all. Blue origin hasn’t even gone to high orbit so I don’t trust their claims.
Also when nasa went to the moon, they only put a lander on the moon. The ship stayed in orbit. And they hard landed back on earthy sacrificing the landing vehicle to dissipate heat. 2 refuels might make sense. 1 to get to the moon and land, the second on the way back to have enough fuel to land safely. I’d guess there is a good chance that maybe required for mars as well. One refuel on mars, a second in earth orbit before landing. Still beats what NASA or blue Origin plan.
