Default NASA says 20 years to mars NBC news tonight, space X 10 years

so what do you all think?


I don't doubt that if it's left to NASA it will take 20 years. At least.
Whatever NASA had that let them get to the moon so quickly, they seem to
have lost. Perhaps they realise that once it's done, they're out of a
job again.

It wouldn't surprise me if SpaceX could do it in 10.

Whether it's worth doing at all while it involves people living in space
for a year and a half is a different question entirely.

The real question is "Can it be patched?"
these opinions are mine, all mine; HPE might not want them anyway...
feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hpe.com but NOT BOTH...
