unless NASA becomes a governing body of space exploration for the USA (besides FAA?) SpaceX will go without them when they have the capability (saying that, NASA and the US government will 100% force spacex to have nasa astronauts if that happens to save face)

I believe SpaceX will promise Mars is four years away for the remainder of our natural lives.

that's a poor belief to have. or you're really old, then its valid. I'd be surprised if humans don't make it by the close of the 2030/very early 2040. bar any political torpedos. as it stands, SpaceX will make it.

2040 is a no-go for orbital and space weather reasons. If I remember right you need to do this by 2035 or wait until 2041.

The orbital energetics are bad in that period, and it's a solar maximum.

Solar maximums are better than solar minimums thanks to reduced exposure to GCR. Solar particles are relatively easy to shield against.

Some launch windows are marginally cheaper than others but Starship is not sensitive to that difference.pic.twitter.com/q7V0GKQ5Dn
