To achieve 1 million tons of cargo on mars with Starship V3, SpaceX needs 5,000 trips
Each ship needs 6 tankers to partially fill its tanks, bringing the total to 7 launchers per trip - 35,000 in total
With 3 launches a day, it would take 32 years to get all that cargo to mars

Is the nature of space combat doomed to be of “glass cannons?”
A single railgun or missile shot to the propellant tank and your ship is either exploded or floating in space dead. Same goes for your enemy.

I swear, if NASA doesn’t allow a
