      Doesn't boeing technically have blame for the space shuttle columbia? It is the same kind of thing. They knew there are problems that could affect a safe reentry. Problems caused by boeing ignoring a design flaw and doing nothing to reduce the risk. They will ignore the risk and try to reenter while rolling the dice all over again with starliner.

      They wanted to find the cause of the problem. And that sits in the part of the capsule that's planned to be separated and will burn up. The bare capsule will return.
      The part with the failure sits in a module, that's mounted beneath the heat shield of the capsule. It's the module that steers the capsule, has propellant tanks and thrusters.

We are confident in rolling the dice that they might have some chance of landing safely. Well okay a better chance than they would have riding the station down. We are now confident that the Starliner can stay up attached to the station absolutely indefinitely. We are collecting all sorts of data about how the Starliner behaves while parked in orbit for much longer than we planned. This is some really good stuff! What? Why didn’t we do this with Dragon? Next question! What do we plan to do about the crew?

      They are starting off with species far too advanced to plant on Mars. The most basic life forms must start first. Like blue-green algae. If any water is found, spread it there by use of special entry vehicles. Maybe something that inflates during descent, bounces on the ground, and then bursts open after it settles. There are lichens and creatures in Antarctica that could be the next layer of life to be deposited. It will take a century of persistent work and maybe 10% will succeed but, a self-sustaining food chain has to be established. Just guessing at this point.

      Hydroponics don't use soil. It's water and nutrients. Fish don't need soil, just water and food. As for regolith having perchlorate, there is a space suit or a sealed closed environment between them and the regolith. As for tracking or bringing regolith particles into the enclosed environment there are air locks with devices called vacuums to clean the suits.

      Because The Martian was a film - a non-science-based fantasy. It actually begins with such an extreme storm that the colonists have to abandon the planet - even though such a storm can't happen on Mars. (Winds can be very fast on Mars, but, with such low atmospheric pressure, they can never be strong.) Every 'expert' consulted for this film knew this, but still the film went ahead and used this assumption - because without it, there is no story. In other words, The Martian is fantasy based on un-scientific nonsense - not some sort of blue-print for future colinisation of Mars!

In that same amount of time, Old NASA went from copies of Nazi rockets that could barely get off the ground without exploding to putting men on the Moon. More LEO stations is a money pit taking up funding that could be used for things that haven't been done yet, like a permanent Lunar presence, more space telescopes like Chandra that everyone is freaking out about getting defunded, or more interplanetary sample return probes.

    The Aquaponics idea, using fish to produce nutrients for soil sounds like an amazing idea for substantially increasing food production on Earth. However, as I understand it, growing anything in Martian soil is problematic as that soil contains toxins poisonous to humans and those poisonous chemicals would be absorbed into the plants making the food inedible.... Any ideas on how the technology will deal with that?
