Elon Musk, the founder and CEO of SpaceX, has stated his firm might land a spacecraft on Mars inside the subsequent three to 4 years.
The tech billionaire made remarks on Thursday throughout a digital handle on the International Astronautical Congress in Baku, Azerbaijan, the place he engaged in a one-hour question-and-answer session with Clay Mowry, the president of the International Astronautical Federation.
When requested about predictions for when Starship would possibly obtain a crewless touchdown on Mars, Musk replied, “I think three or four years.”
He elaborated on Starship’s potential capabilities, envisioning eventualities like “breakfast in LA, lunch in London, dinner in Singapore, and then back in L.A. for bedtime.”
“I think it’s sort of feasible within the next four years to do an uncrewed test landing there,” Musk stated.
While Musk emphasised not eager to set expectations “too high,” he conveyed his longstanding ambition for the Starship rocket to facilitate the touchdown of people on Mars.
