Could Orion take astronauts to Mars? Technically, yes. But they'll be dead in 20 days when life support runs out. Which is non-optimal.

@kchangnyt That's different than sending them on a suicide mission. They'd be guaranteed dead three weeks from earth.@RocketAcademy -
Point of the book is that we have to rationally match risk/cost to reward, not deliberately slam folks into Mars.
