Really cool! Anyone owning SpaceX should see a big increase in value over the next few years as they continue to smash the cost of launch.

“Starship will make life multiplanetary”

The irony is that musk already believes in intelligent life on other planets.

That said, starship does make earth humans multiplanetary. Assuming living on mars for extended periods of time counts. Personally, a human has to be born on Mars before I would consider it living on the planet vs visiting

Given that Mars' gravity is ~38% of ours, I don't think we'll see this until the problem of simulating gravity during space travel can be solved. Scott Kelly did almost a year in space and he had issues when he got back. A round trip to Mars would exceed that.

38% is much better than near 0%. Plus this is only an issue if returning to earth. Otherwise, I agree we are likely off by a little while

And that’s only one of about a million serious problems that would have to be overcome…

More than 15 billion miles and nearly 50 years from Earth, the Voyager spacecraft may have permanently gone silent

NASA launched the Voyager probes in 1977, but even now they're still getting some use out of them:

15 billion miles?

Anybody know how the odometers work on these things?

Hard to believe. We don't even have Intelligent Life in all of Washington, DC.

How long communication takes to relay would indicate distance cause you know communication speed and time it took.
