>>13142868>share resources with all of humanityhow you daft cunt. Until Starship and Super Heavy are proven out with orbital refueling, there's no "free state of Mars" or Moon.
>regulateHow the fuck are you going to regulate shit on the Moon or Mars? It takes 1.5 days with the Starship to get to the Moon and 3 days with Orion. It takes 6 months one way with Starship to get to Mars. By the time a decision is made on the senate floor of Earth, for any enforcer to do fuck all about it, 6 months will have passed from the rocket launch to Martian orbit; and that ASSUMES this happens during the Hohman Transfer Window. Without it, if you want to launch a rocket to Mars to enforce dick all, you'll basically need the equivalent of a fully fueled Super Heavy in space with a fully fueled Starship. The booster would burn straight to Mars for 75% of its fuel, flip, and burn for the last 25% and then be discarded along the way, and then Starship would burn for the rest of the distance, flip, slow down and then land. And even with all that, you'd reduce the timeline from 8 months to like 3 months.
Still. 3. FUCKING. MONTHS.
A consortium and regulation is worthless.
