no need to write an essay or anything

some libs and baby leftists are kinda baffled by the trump banter here and don’t know what’s serious and what’s irony

          Unfortunately the delta-v requirements for a solar “landing” are already absurd (think having an entire Saturn V in orbit, and that still not being enough). How about conscripting them into being the brave astronauts on the Voyager 3 mission, where they will journey aimlessly outside of our solar system? A rocket capable of putting a man on Mars would be very easily capable of yeeting a man out of the solar system.

            ngl, hadn’t done the math but it surprises me that it’s easier to get to the outer solar system than to perform a solar “landing”. we don’t need to include an oxygen tank, right? should save some weight so they craft can get further from any planets – wouldn’t want to pollute Mars or something by accident.
