Space nerds, has SpaceX talked publicly at all about the en-route obstacles to a Mars mission (radiation, deconditioning, closed-loop life support) and how it plans to address them? I can find stuff about launch and landing but not the middle part that is the actual dealbreaker.
I go by the NASA design reference architecture because Musk has a very long history of making shit up.

Oh, okay, good to know you think SpaceX, who is the only US company NASA trusts to launch humans to orbit right now, just makes stuff up & is ignoring radiation (versus addressing it with the perfectly valid method of using more fuel and aero braking to do a faster transit time).pic.twitter.com/muvofQA6ED

I think it's silly to argue about transit times for a rocket that doesn't exist. Until it does, I'm using the reference plans from the one group that has landed humans on another celestial body.
