I started watching the Nat Geo series “Mars”. it was so poorly written from a scientific perspective that I gave up after 4 episodes. Relatively predictable problems were not planed for and all the while there are talking about while they were bragging about how much the experts had done to make it a successful mission. Musk was heavily interviewed for the series.

Musk has the capability of providing power along the journey, since he has proven that a single Falcon 9 can easily launch sixty Starlink satellites, each with a large solar array.
Using similar arrays arranged along whatever configuration of Starship convoys they come up with would surely suffice. But I suspect that he may be quietly considering that the Project Mars idea of using compact nuclear reactors would also be a good idea, especially after they get situated on Mars.

Back? I thought it was a one way trip.

We could call the removal of consequences for stupid meta-stupid.
And the consequences for the removal of consequences "metastatic stupid."

"Back? I thought it was a one way trip." For some, I'm sure it will be.
Being away from the protections of Earth is not recommended for long periods, and even the shortest trip to Mars, its layover, and the return opportunity back to Earth exceeds three years or more.
The radiation penalty alone for this amount of time is pretty much a lifetime dose.
Musk speaks of our becoming a multiplanet species, but things will have to change before that can become a reality. Maybe just something as simple as heading for Venus instead of, (or as well as), Mars.

I had a longish post about my rotten morning so far, and when I went to preview it, the screen gave me a message that I wasn’t connected. *sigh*
I obviously have been connected for quite a few years...
So I’ll tell about it tomorrow. :o[

Still kicking. But I really should just learn to accept my lot in life.
Yeah, fat chance.

I hear people who drop off the grid are happier and healthier.
But we would miss you.

"Have heat?" I do.
I had to work on the furnace a few days ago, but I do have heat now, thank you.

You might want to do some consulting work for Dark’s place of employment. Seems they don’t have any qualified ‘fix-the-heat-thing’ personnel...

No.
Nor are they capable of NOT plugging an amp hog hot water heater into a GFCI outlet that trips every time the water heater turns on.
