SpaceX downscaled ITS spaceship comparison
Fan vision of possible SpaceX's scaled down version of the ITS cargo spaceship (for 9m booster) compared with the original ITS crew spaceship (for 12m booster), Space Shuttle, Orion and Dragon; created by NASASpaceFlight.com forum member, Canadian design engineer Michel Lamontagne. More of his spaceship renderings here.
We will learn the actual SpaceX design for the scaled down version of the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS) only during Elon Musk's presentation at the 2017 International Astronautical Conference in Adelaide, Australia, September 29.

Map of possible landing sites for Red Dragon and Mars2020/ExoMars missions
Jake Robins from WeMartians Podcast has created a map of possible landing sites for SpaceX's first Red Dragon lander and NASA's Mars 2020 / ESA&Roscosmos's ExoMars rovers.
It is presumed that the most possible landing site for SpaceX's first Red Dragon lander is southern Arcadia Planitia. We will see.
- Red X = crashed/failed landings
- Green circle = successful landings
- Yellow ? mark = candidate sites for Mars2020/ExoMars
- Space "X" = candidate sites for Red Dragon
It is presumed that the most possible landing site for SpaceX's first Red Dragon lander is southern Arcadia Planitia. We will see.
