Elon Musk wants your neighbour on the Moon, not just career astronauts.
That's the pitch. Lunar travel opened up to regular people.
Musk's argument is that the bottleneck was never human capability, it was cost and access, and Starship exists to break both.
Build the ship big enough and cheap enough to reuse, and the passenger list stops being a shortlist.
Imagine Earth’s gravity as an invisible sculptor, carving a wildly uneven “sea level” across the planet—even where no ocean exists.
The geoid is that perfectly level surface: the shape the world’s oceans would settle into if they could flow freely under gravity alone, ignoring winds, tides, and currents. Far from a smooth sphere, this equipotential surface undulates dramatically—soaring +85 m above the reference ellipsoid near Iceland and plunging −106 m below it over southern India.
In the visualization, those gentle real-world bumps and dips are amplified by a spectacular factor of 10,000, transforming subtle gravitational hills and valleys into a dramatic, alien topography.
The data powering this view comes from GOCO06s, a pure satellite gravity field model produced by the international GOCO (Gravity Observation Combination) project. It rests on more than a billion precise measurements gathered over 15 years by 19 satellites—most notably NASA’s GRACE mission and ESA’s GOCE satellite—revealing Earth’s gravity field in unprecedented detail.
