Space stuff...

Anyhoo, I'm about to drift off for some feather.

I've made my point and you, yours.

Only time will tell.

Until there are boots on mars, I'm right.

Good night :-)
 
Good.
1 tonne.

Even apollo 11 was 5 tonnes, and they could barely swing a cat in that. And they were only in the lander for a couple of days.

To land and live on mars, it's going to have to be a sight bigger than that.
One single launch of the new generation of SHLV could put 12 tons onto Mars surface with a soft landing.

No one thinks a Mars mission would be a single launch from earth.
 
Keeping humans alive for long durations in space mainly, without help or sanctity from the mother planet. Landing on another planet. And taking off again and keeping the humans alive whilst doing so.

As Brig said, space is constantly trying to kill humans and is extraordinarily hostile. Humans are very needy.
Like a space station you mean? Where humans live for long periods in space.
 
A lot less than for a 100 million mile one.
Not an answer. Just say you don’t know.

I’d say more than the internal size of the moon lander…

And what happens when your breath on oxygen, you breath out… where does that all go….

Half a million miles ffs
 
Like a space station you mean?
Teathered to earth - no.
Where humans live for long periods in space.
With help from the mother planet and the safety net it offers. If hey had to send that tin can on a 9 month journey, land it on a hostile planet with no ground control there, take off again and travel 9 months back again, then yes, it woulld get my vote.

Otherwise - not even in the same vicinity no. Night v's day.
