"Starship launch" = launch to Mars
in 2026/2028 = in the relevant launch window, no problem if the actual launch is in 2027/2029
1,000What does "launch to Mars" mean?
Intention of launch as long as launch actually happens? or
Intention of launch as long as Trans Mars Insertion (TMI) burn is at least x%? 50%? complete does happen? or
What actually happens?
What is needed? (as intent or actual)
Landing? Orbit? Aerocapture test? Significant course altering flyby? Flies within Mars sphere of influence (not altering course much)? Near enough for picture of Optimus waving with Mars clear and 'large' in the background? Past Mars orbital distance but actually nowhere near Mars? or something else?
