SpaceX aims to send one million people to Mars by 2050 using thousands of Starship rockets.
Elon Musk envisions launching up to 30 Starships per day, with reusable boosters returning to Earth just minutes after liftoff.
The system is designed for rapid refueling and could eventually transport millions of tonnes of cargo to Mars.

@Rainmaker1973@GeromanAT Yes China has lots of engineers so they are able to do that and lots more. China is building the whole world while everyone else is fighting some kind of war over geo politics.
Yamaha has developed a self-balancing motorcycle that can drive itself and even follow its owner around.
The MOTOROiD 2 uses facial recognition, gesture controls, and an active balancing system that keeps the bike upright even without a rider.
Bruce Lee called Chuck Norris for an epic fight scene in The Way of the Dragon, Norris had one concern.
“You know, in your movies, nobody really touches you.”
Bruce replied:
“Then this one will be different. A real fight. Back and forth.”
Norris liked the idea, but asked the obvious question:
“So… who wins?”
Bruce answered without hesitation:
“I do. I’m the star.”
Chuck laughed.
“You want to beat the world champion?”
Bruce said:
“No. I don’t want to beat the world champion.”
A pause.
“I want to kill the world champion.”
