American scientist Jack Kingdon from the University of California at Santa Barbar proposed a revolutionary method that reduces the flight time for fire to 90-104 days with existing technologies. This is two to three times faster than modern Mars missions. The research was published in the scientific journal (Scirep).
Experts have used mathematical algorithms to calculate optimal trajectories that allow Starship SpaceX to reach Mars in a record time.
The first option involves debut on April 30, 2033 with a 90 -day flight and returning to Earth on July 2, 2035. The second choice is launched on July 15, 2035 with a 104 -day transit. Both scenarios use the periodic and Mars' bonds, reducing fuel costs.
Starship star can reach Mars for three months in almost every launch window.
The study also offered a solution to the main problem of the SpaceX mission – not enough mass for the backward flight.

Kingdon recommends that near -low orbit (Noo) by using oil ships, this will allow Starship to maintain fuel for returning. The cargo ships will provide equipment to Mars to produce fuel from carbon dioxide and local ice, although this technology has not been tested under practical conditions.
Despite optimism, the scientist noted that success depends on the solution of a number of tasks, including improving the characteristics of Starship after test flights, developing life support systems and trajectory refueling and infrastructure creation to produce fuel on Mars.
