Why The SpaceX Starship Wont Orbit Mars

As I was checking out current science videos, I found this one which was just published to YouTube just hours ago (Oct. 3, 2020). It is quite detailed with some tremendous animation, but in my view it is pretty spot-on as we move closer to sending a manned mission to Mars...

Fuel is the big consideration here as we use Rockets to propel our space vehicles for the near future... The narrator for this video poses this question to the viewer:

"Can you guess how quickly the SpaceX Starship will run out of fuel? Hint: it holds 1200 metric tons of Methane and Oxygen."

and therein lies the crux of the problem of why the SpaceX Starship won't orbit Mars upon arriving at our neighboring planet... but there is more to the story... I recommend watching this in Dull Screen, preferably on the largest screen you have available... You won't be disappointed...

I hope that you find this both interesting and educational,
Kerry
