I don’t see the habitat.

Seriously, Musk must be planning a habitat module complex, pre-positioned for use in some way.

What is it? 1) get there and back 2) get there, land for a while, then back 3) then stay for some duration

Personally, I hope all goes well. Musk may make some of it happen while I am still alive.

Otoh, because Musk is involved, I full well expect there to be legal challenges to “spoiliing a pristene Planet” or some such.

Hollywood movies are fun but crazy. Building a monster spaceship like the Ares for a Mars trip would be incredibly expensive, time consuming and very much an exercise in massive over-kill.

If Earth-Mars trips ever become the norm, then maybe we get an elaborate transfer vehicle.
