Starship landing sites on Mars
editFound 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
editI 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)

History of proposed Mars landings.
editI feel like the history section is missing some parts of the history of proposed Starship Mars landings. While its good to have the current timeline proposal, this is definitely not the first time Mr. Musk has promissed a Starship mars landing within a couple years. If someone has the time/motivation to compile a more comprihensive summary of past Starship/Mars timelines, this page would definitely benifit. 138.246.3.72 (talk) 20:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, would improve the article if this were done and added.
- Sadly, much of this material has been written in this article in the past, and over-energetic editors come to the page and often seem to want to make it more of a newsmagazine on current plans, which Wikipedia IsNotANewspaper.
- See the Talk page archives for some of this: ex. 2014 Aeon article interview w Musk is mentioned, as well as my own comment from Sep 2016 specifically requesting that we retain the History of the SpaceX plans. Will take some editing work to recover the lost info: but perhaps you would be up for that 138.246.3.72 ? Cheers. N2e (talk) 17:02, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
