Just a note of advice. Before actual flight to Mars, a
human rated rocket needs to be demonstrated. AND a human
rated orbiter and lander and re-lifter needs demonstration.
Also the engine for the trip needs lifting to orbit at Earth also.

FalconX is failed and nonhuman ratable.

So Musk need to begin finally.

NOW. Is the design even in the cad stations even? Is
Musk playing a sales pitch or are engineers functioning?
The best way for Musk to go to Mars is to use NASA's
booster. Orion is the name or Delta?

Use Orion Musk.

What the hell is "FalconX", Dougie? There is Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and
Falcon Heavy, each in several variants. Your comment makes no sense
for any of them.

Another area where Mr Eagleson has a huge amount of ignorance. Dougie,
if you want to gibber about things, LEARN SOMETHING FIRST.

Dougie, you ignorant nitwit, 'Orion' is a capsule, not a booster.
Delta is too small to launch a full up Orion to anywhere like Mars and
Orion doesn't have the endurance for the trip.

Musk is a self-made billionaire. You're a congenital mental defective
who frequently can't even communicate in simple English. Any idea who
the sane people think probably has the better plan?

Bull****. You fix the issues and keep flying. SpaceX just won another
GPS 3 launch contract from DOD. I guess Falcon 9 is still good enough
for GPS 3 satellites.

NASA needs Falcon 9 to launch Dragon 2 for commercial crew. I'm sure
NASA and SpaceX will continue to work together to resolve any issues
until NASA feels it's safe enough to fly. Safe enough doesn't mean
perfect safety. You're never going to have perfect safety in any
transportation system, even walking.

So Musk need to begin finally.

NASA is developing SLS, the Space Launch System. It's a fancy name for
a partly shuttle derived "inline" launch vehicle with an all new upper
stage. It's also going to cost well over $1 billion per launch. Just
how much it will cost depends on details like how often it launches.

Suffice it to say that SpaceX is better off building its own vehicles
since they'll be far cheaper.

Use Orion Musk.

Orion is NASA's bloated capsule that's too heavy to launch (when it's
fully fueled) on pretty much anything but SLS. Why would SpaceX ever
want that? It would likely add about another $1 billion to the mission,
so now you're up to $2 billion, and you haven't even paid for a HAB to
get you to Mars. Since Orion is only good for 21 days on its own,
that's not going to get you to Mars and back.
