Starship-based Mars Direct 2.0 by Zubrin presented at IAC2019 (video)
Dr Robert Zubrin gave a presentation on Mars Direct 2.0 using Starship at the IAC2019 which drew a packed room. It was recorded for those unable to attend and is now available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5k7-Y4nZlQ Each speaker was alloted 13 + 2 minutes for questions, but the chairs allowed extra time due to a couple of no-shows.In short, he proposes developing a 10-20t mini-Starship for [initial] flights to Moon/Mars due to the reduced ISRU requirements. He also keeps firm on his belief that using Starship to throw said mini-Starship on TMI is beneficial as the full Starship can remain useful for a greater period of time, which might especially make sense if you have few Starships (which you would in the very beginning, at least). He also, correctly IMO, proposes NASA (ie. rest of industry), start developing the other pieces needed for the architecture and bases, specifically mentioning a heavy lift lander.

Great work by SpaceX Dragon team & Airborne! To be clear, we’ve only done 1 multi-parachute test of Mk3 design, so 9 more left to reach 10 successful tests in a row.

Elon Musk on Twitter: Most Starship spaceports will probably need to be ~20 miles / 30km offshore for acceptable noise levels, especially for frequent daily flights, as would occur for point to point flights on Earth
