Starship would still land on Mars, but whether it's refueled X times or docked with NTR from another trip seems interchangeable to me

"So no information is traveling faster than the speed of light"---this is the key distinction. I feel like we are on the verge of no longer saying the speed of light, but the speed of causality or information seems more relavant.

OP, this really should’ve been posted to r/ask, or really anywhere other than a sub about space…

Did you read the last line of my post? The one in brackets?

The only thing faster than light is darkness, for no matter how fast light goes, when it arrives it finds that darkness got there first...

I used the 1mm per cubic centimeter as an example the actual expantion is much smaller though im not sure of the exact values.
But the answer is you, your house, the planet are all expanding. As far as I am aware gravity and the strong nuclear force holds us together against that force. Though some hypothosize that eventually the expantion rate will be great enough to tear atoms apart, its called the big rip. Edit: spelling.

I don’t know if this question makes sense, but if every cubic centimeter of the universe is expanding due to dark matter, why doesn’t that include earth? Like I’m sitting here and neither me nor my house is expanding, so is the expansion only in the vacuum of space? If so, why?

If you want people to go see your YouTube videos about space ticking people off with purposefully misleading phrasing isn't going to get you the attention you want. You're sending people who already think you're annoying and/or incorrect directly to your media.

No Tau Ceti is only like 4 years away if you accelerate 15 m/s2 up to about light speed and slow down enough to orbit. Time dilation is a nice effect for the observer... maybe

Read what you just wrote.
Itd take the SPEED OF LIGHT 25,000 years to travel one light year.
Im perplexed at this statement. A light year, by name, is how far light travels in 1 year. In 25,000 years, light would travel 25,000 light years.
I hope this helps. Really, I hope this helps.
