The article says 30-60 days.
So possibly twice as long as the first estimate. Bit of a difference there.
I suppose so, but the expected flight time currently is 9 to 15 months - so this is an incredible achievement if true.
You do realize Mars and Earth do not orbit the sun at the same rate? When the ship launches will affect the distance to travel.
