[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7514004, member: 6925649"] Lets assume it does, no reason to believe it doesn't. Now lets talk about the vehicle that will get Earth people there, its called the BFR [IMG]https://cdn.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/BFR-03c.jpg[/IMG] This is the BFR rocket, it consists of two stages, and it could transport 100 people to Mars. Both of these stages are fully reusable. It launches the upper stage into orbit with empty fuel tanks, and then the bottom stage lands, a fuel module is placed on top, the BFR bottom stage plus fuel module launches to orbit, the fuel module docks with the BFR upper stage and then transfers its fuel to that upper stage, and then the upper stage BFR makes an orbital insertion to a transfer orbit to Toril, this transfer orbit has a 6 month orbital period, which allows Toril to move 180° in its orbit, the BFR spaceship swings closer to the Sun in an elliptical orbit and comes back out to Earth distance from the Sun, by which time Toril is in position. While this is happening the BFR bottom stage launches another BFR bottom stage into low Earth orbit with empty fuel tanks, one of the BFR bottom stages then lands and an fuel module is placed on top, the BFR bottom stage is refueled and launched, the fuel module then docks with the orbiting BFR bottom stage, fills its fuel tanks, and the BFR bottom stage makes its orbital insertion towards Toril. Both upper and lower stages make their approach to Toril, both enter its atmosphere and both land.
