@LadoBitnar I am highly confident that we can send several uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2 years.

If those ships don’t increment the crater count on Mars, then crewed ships can be sent in 4 years.

Donald Trump has only been elected for 2 days and RFK Jr is already working on making America healthy again.

God bless him.

Mars Update from @SpaceX

• Goal is to build a fully self-sustaining city on Mars within the next 20 years — A fully self-sustaining city on Mars needs around 1 million people. Need to deliver millions of tonnes.

• Our Starship Moon Lander will fly us to the Moon, where we will build Moonbase Alpha

• Significant increase in the number of launches of our Starship V2 and V3 — 10 launches per day, 200+ tonnes per launch, 1.5 million tonnes per opportunity, 250,000 tonnes to Mars per opportunity.

• The Starships V2 and V3 will be powered by our next-generation rocket engine, the Raptor 3

Autonomy will create the world we want

It covers all transportation needs with fewer cars, since they won't sit idle for most of the day anymore

Instead, cities will be greener & liveable
