opposition to mars expeditions
[edit]Is there any serious opposition to mars expeditions? I am personally against any attempt to go to mars, not to speak to send humans, it seems to be such a really childish pursuit. Not particularly technically clever, just hugely expensive, an overgrown child dream like going to the moon or the space station. Plus the contamination issue. The most reveling justification is the one of the backup location for a specie which might be destroying the planet where it could live in harmony if it only would keep quiet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omblauman (talk • contribs) 17:01, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

- Why don't we live on earth first. The great desserts of Australia would be a great place to live. Lots of space, air, a road,predictable weather. People have, Woomera. Make desserts habitable. See if we can do it here before infecting somewhere we have no right to. 2A00:23C6:F680:2C01:E574:709E:9B4:C0 (talk) 16:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- This has nothing to do with improving the page's content. If any opposition goes beyond your personal opinions and is widespread or authoritative enough to deserve a mention on Wikipedia, then it should probably go on Human mission to Mars. Daydreamers (talk) 13:15, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
Tone
[edit]"The tone here is probably too optimistic and confident on the goal" per User:CactiStaccingCrane per https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/1084758038 Swliv (talk) 16:29, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, the tone feels like that SpaceX will land people on Mars, it's just a matter of time. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 16:31, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
I wanted to have the concern clearly identified for someone (else) wishing to attempt to improve the tone. My 2nd edit, now done, leads a reader here from the template on the article. That's what I'd wanted. Swliv (talk) 18:17, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- For those who want to improve the article, cutting down on original research, primary sources, and weasel words (all the damn quotations) is a great place to start. Then more criticisms can be added (radiation shielding, infeasibility like other Mars plans in the past, etc.) CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 00:02, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Starship landing sites on Mars
[edit]Found an official document from the 2021 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference regarding SpaceX and JPL working together to select Starship landing sites on Mars: SpaceX Starship Landing Sites on Mars
Includes information on 22 potential sites and 4 primary sites. Anyone have thoughts on how best to incorporate this information into the article? Yiosie 2356 05:43, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Prior launch vehicle proposals
[edit]I split that section in a section for SpaceX Red Dragon and a section for the SpaceX Starship design process. That way, this otherwise specific second section can be linked to in a much more versatile, clear, standard and explicit way. It also makes it consistent with the Space Shuttle equivalent "Space Shuttle design process". Similarly to the Space Shuttle's, Starship's design process could deserve its own page — albeit it would be redundant on SpaceX ambition of colonizing Mars. What is the solution here? I do think this article is trying to do too many things at once, but I would also agree that the Mars Colonial Transporter design concept is relevant here. @User:CactiStaccingCrane CodemWiki (talk) 16:55, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
