You have to go nearly that fast just to escape the Earth's gravity. Apollo 11 was around 25,000 mph.

I'm pretty sure "Starship" is being designed just like the Falcon 9, in that it can use it's engines to descend to the surface and land upright. Then it will take back off vertically to head back.

For those interested. I didn't realize that they were planning on 100% Mars-generated fuel for the return.

I just had no idea that science and technology are at the point where it's possible to reach Mars in 4 months. With that being the case, I would imagine that the commute to Mars will take a week or less before the end of this century. Is interstellar travel that far behind? |

Unfortunately, actual humans would be very sadly incapable of that travel. It would kill them pretty quickly because of hydrogen itself.

If any night owls are interested RocketLab has a NASA launch tonight at 11:25pm (with a 2-hour launch window). It's a tiny little rocket, but still fun to watch.
Here's the official stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zzu7hI0ESM And here's Tim Dodd's hosted version, which I like just because he has good commentary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbUbuH7pkU0 |
