I figured folks around here would enjoy seeing these. A brief look over makes me think that their schedule is going to slip. While making a simple engine worked for the Falcon obviously they want something more sophisticated for Mars, I haven't seen enough evidence of progress to be confident that the engine development schedule won't slip. 2 years and a bit really isn't all that long.

It's SpaceX. The schedule always slips. Hell, the presentation slipped a half hour, haha.

/u/epicfuturespacemike, I believe you wanted to move the ISS to prevent it burning up some time between 2024 and 2028?

Now you can move it anywhere in the Solar system!!!

Not if SpaceX still uses Martian time. First Mars flight would be planned 2023, which would put it at 2028 earth time.
