It is relatively easy to get 90 day trips each way with #SpaceX #Starship, because we will have a lot more fuel to enable more direct routes to #Mars https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2024/01/spacex-starship-travel-times-to-mars.html
For a trip to #Mars , decreasing travel time by 10% necessitates twice as much fuel, while cutting travel time in half requires ten times as much. May prove worthwhile when considering factors such as decreased exposure time to #radiation
for crewed
missions. Extra speed must be lost at Mars. Many Mars missions do this, taking about 6
