In a recent post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Elon Musk’s SpaceX uncrewed starships will be launched to Mars in 2 years, with the next Earth-Mars transfer window. He said SpaceX uncrewed starships will test the reliability of landing intact on Mars and if those landings go well, his space company will launch its first crewed flights to Mars in four years.
Elon Musk stated, “Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, to build a self-sustaining city in about 20 years”.
Moreover, in another post on X, Elon Musk said: “SpaceX made the first fully reusable rocket stage and, much more importantly, made the reuse economically viable. Making life multi-planetary is fundamentally a cost-per-ton to Mars problem.
It seems like Musk is fulfilling his goal of sending people and cargo to the moon and ultimately flying to Mars while producing a large number of multipurpose next-generation spacecraft.
Additionally, according to CNN, in June 2024, SpaceX uncrewed starships successfully launched with the most powerful rocket built and achieved various key objectives during its fourth test flight.
