Danny Jones Podcast · #370 - “I Found the Proof That Ends the Moon Landing Debate” | Tim Dodd · 9 Feb 2026 podcast

So his initial vision with SpaceX was to make life multi-planetary.

That's the whole underlying theme of SpaceX.

Yeah.

And I hope that they're still abiding by that because they definitely have a lot of other projects with Starlink and potentially now AI computing in space and all these other big things.

But at the heart of it is still the idea that they could build – if they make spaceflight cheap enough, use reusable rockets, that classic thing that I've been saying a lot, then something like Mars is not that –

not that hard as far as financially.

You just send starships to Mars.

If they're fully fueled in the Earth orbit, they have enough propellant to be able to do the entire journey to Mars.

Now, there's a lot of other complications about even on the way to Mars, you have extended radiation exposure and things like that.

You have cosmic background radiation.

You have zero G to contend with for six to nine months during your transit, which again, none of these things are deal breakers.

We've done all of this stuff in space.

Mm-hmm.

It's just the culmination of all these things.

And the minimum trip time is about two years or 18 months, I think, but it's a terrible journey.

But basically two years is like the typical to Mars and back because the planets have to realign to be able to get back from Mars to Earth.

And so for even to send any humans to Mars, they have to be able to survive for two years on their own without any other sustenance.

They have to be able to land on Mars.

And most likely the easiest way to do is to land on Mars empty

literally extract a propellant on the surface of Mars, fill your vehicle back up and then get back to earth.
