My "hotter than Venus" hot take is Starship will not ferry crew to Mars. We will need to build something bigger and with partial gravity, perhaps a cycler of some kind.

Though if Starship is a fraction of what it is being claimed in terms of costs and speed of reuse, that would be relatively cheap. Relatively doing more heavy lifting than an olympic powerlifter here.

Starship is designed to bring atleast 100 tons of crew and cargo to Mars so Starship will for sure land people Mars. The question is just how long it will take to mature all the tech.

Bro starship could fit people pretty comfortably.

It wouldn’t be a 5 star hotel but perhaps comparable to a small submarine in terms of space
