if it doesn't work out, you're stuck at Venus ;)
<Mat2ch>
Oh, you should read the full article. That's another advantage of Venus, you can get home much more easy from there
<Althego>
1. you get to mars faster 2. you get to mars with less delta v 3. you can come home sooner 4. also visit venus
<Althego>
so if anything it largely decreases risks
<Mat2ch>
but would a slingshot around venus not just add speed to the craft and you have then to break somehow at Mars even more? I'm wondering
<Althego>
also more frequent launch windows
<Althego>
that is probably true
<Althego>
but the initial burn is less
<Mat2ch>
I wouldn't be suprised if Elon announces this soon...
<Althego>
my problem is, why didnt he tweet about this :)
<Mat2ch>
He doesn't know yet
<Mat2ch>
so send it to him.
<Althego>
cant, i dont have twitter
<Mat2ch>
What I'm missing in the text is: What would be the shortest duration for a Mars flight?
<Mat2ch>
you don't have a twitter account :P
<Althego>
yes
<Mat2ch>
Language! ;)
<Althego>
the same way as you dont send an sms
<Mat2ch>
Back to my initial question... how long would a roundtrip take?
<darsie>
You don't send a short message service.
<Althego>
especially if you know about the horrors that happen in the background
<Althego>
obviously a non hohmann transfer would be faster
<Mat2ch>
darsie: I'm using it. ;)
<Althego>
there is also a way, where your aphelion is way farther than mars, that is somewhat faster, for not too much delta v, but if you dont stop at mars you arrive back to earth without prpulsion exactly one year later
<Mat2ch>
I guess that will be the first mission. A fly-by
<Althego>
you do a fly by in case you have some issues
<Althego>
otherwise you stop
<Mat2ch>
Now, who has a RSS setup and could try that? (And also an AC. I'd like to come over. I'm dying here)

<Althego>
go inside the nearest server room :)
<Mat2ch>
Don't have the key cards for that.
<Althego>
guarded by 4 cacodemons
<Mat2ch>
More like underpaid security guards
<Althego>
but i bet you dont even have a chainsaw :)
<Mat2ch>
no angle grinder either

I never got her to jump high enough ;)

hmm climbing trees
