The proposal is to fly an object from Earth to Mars in 30 minutes.

The time of flight is estimated from our viewpoint. The time in the spaceship would be shorter.

If my Relativity calculations are correct, at 26% the speed of light

If it takes 30 minutes from the POV of the space craft than 31 Minutes 4 seconds passed on Earth.

If it takes 30 minutes from the POV of the Earth than only 28 Minutes 53 seconds passed on space craft.

So I have no idea what this guy is talking about decades going by
