Hmm idk if an HDLT NEEDS gas, or if it can use liquid, but I'm pretty sure you could power an HDLT engine with piss. From what I understand it takes a fuel (even in liquid form, like water) and turns it to a plasma super quickly. And the lack of complex parts on the inside like a high voltage grid or neutralizer means you can use just about anything as fuel because it won't gunk up your engine
I propose an HDLPiss thruster to get us to Mars in 3 months

At that point why not just send up a fucking cubesat with a 3D camera on a Falcon Heavy and yeet it across the Solar System... charge a bunch of people millions of dollars, and put them in a vomit comet with a VR headset with a live feed streamed into their eyes? Your idea lacks FAITH OF THE HEART.

Who gives a shit, honestly. Any crash from Starship won't really matter all things considered. If super heavy crashes then fuck it build another one. If an empty starship crashes on its way back from delivering starlink then fuck it, build another one. If a starship full of astronauts crashes, fuck it, they probably signed a waiver somewhere. Fuck anyone who wants to cancel Starship for being "unsafe". When Magellan and Francis Drake and Columbus made historic voyages there were crashes but no one fucking gave a shit. It's part of exploration. Wanna cry about columbia and challenger and Apollo 1? Fuck off. They knew the risks and they died as part of the job. Construct a memorial, fix the problem(s) with the ship, and move on.

Except for that last part; Yes.
