Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has announced a timeline for the first missions of Starship, the company's powerful rocket designed to travel to Mars.
Uncrewed Starship missions will launch to Mars in 2026, aiming to test the reliability of landing on the red planet.
If these uncrewed missions are successful, the first crewed flights to Mars are planned for 2028, marking a significant step toward interplanetary travel.
Musk envisions a self-sustaining city on Mars within 20 years, with the frequency of flights between Earth and Mars increasing exponentially.
