Its not the 19th century anymore. Iodine deficiency is not a serious concern in most civilized countries. Most people can get enough iodine from their diets from dairy/eggs/fish/legumes.
You don't need iodized salt, go ahead and use fancy salt. If you're really concerned, take a multivitamin every now and then.

Say that to a Quebecois. I dare you.
Umm, akshually. The Martian atmosphere is already 95℅ CO~2~. Its cold because the atmosphere is so thin. Its thin because Mars does not have a strong magnetic field like Earth does, so solar winds can strip away bits of the atmosphere. Also, Mars only has about 0.38 times the gravity of Earth, making it easier for gases to escape.
This is bad advice.

The raptor testing stand at McGregor experienced an anomaly
Well, which is it? I'm going to trust NASASpaceflight over this article and go with it was a McGregor. No where near Starbase. And that means it will likely have no effect on IFT4 as this article says.
edit: Adding to this, the author of this article has no idea what they are talking about.
The Raptor engines that are currently undergoing testing are SpaceX’s Raptor 2 engines
So clearly nothing to do with IFT4, as Ship 29 and Booster 11 are already outfitted with their engines, non of which are Raptor 2s.
On its last flight test, IFT-3, Starship finally reached orbital velocity and it soared around Earth before crashing down into the Indian Ocean. On the next flight, SpaceX aims to perform a reentry burn, allowing Starship to perform a soft landing in the ocean.
IFT3 burned up on reentry, maybe parts of it made it to the ocean, but it was not crashing into the ocean that was the problem. IFT4 does not plan on doing a reentry burn. No one does a reentry burn from orbit. Starship uses a heat shield like every other orbital space craft. They are planning to attempt a landing burn, that is probably what they are talking about.
Sadly, we are not flying any helicopters on Mars anymore. Ginny has been retired after being damaged.

Some simplifying assumptions.
Let the distance from Earth to Mars be equal to 1, and assume it does not change. Let the direction from Earth to Mars be the positive direction.
Assume that the rockets travel at a constant velocity.
The displacement of the rockets can be represented with the lines
Where t is time in days since rocket A took off. Notice rocket A has a negative slope (negative velocity) since it is moving from Mars to Earth. Rocket A has an initial position of 1, since it starts at Mars. Rocket B has a horizontal shift to the right of 30 days, representing it taking off later.
The rockets cross where these lines intersect. So
So the rockets cross approximately 103 days after rocket A took off. The position at that time is
So when they cross, they are about 49% of the way from Earth to Mars. Just closer to Earth than Mars.
This is why you read the while question before trying to answer it. When the cross, they are both the same distance from Earth.
