some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don’t know what’s serious and what’s irony

    Unfortunately the delta-v requirements for a solar “landing” are already absurd (think having an entire Saturn V in orbit, and that still not being enough). How about conscripting them into being the brave astronauts on the Voyager 3 mission, where they will journey aimlessly outside of our solar system? A rocket capable of putting a man on Mars would be very easily capable of yeeting a man out of the solar system.

      ngl, hadn’t done the math but it surprises me that it’s easier to get to the outer solar system than to perform a solar “landing”. we don’t need to include an oxygen tank, right? should save some weight so they craft can get further from any planets – wouldn’t want to pollute Mars or something by accident.
