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 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.

Didn’t your original question literally ask what SPACEX has done? If you wanted to know that, why did you dismiss that analysis without even giving it a thought?

Second, NASA in real life is not dismissive of anything SpaceX proposes like you are. They don’t think Starship doesn’t exist and isn’t worth considering. This is why they awarded HLS to Starship. You’re being the guy in the meme.

This is the same orbital dynamics anyone has to deal with. 4-6 months is very doable. Regarding radiation, if only someone had written a blog on it...pic.twitter.com/o5TvpmCHza

For reference everyone from that group is dead now. Because of time.
