Bootprints on Mars… in only 6 years?! #Mars #SpaceX

This is a NASA image, but anyone going to Mars will need to produce food, whether staying forever or only a short timeCompany founder and CEO Elon Musk said on Tuesday (Dec. 1) that he’s “highly confident” SpaceX will launch people toward the Red Planet in 2026, adding that the milestone could come as early as 2024 “if we get lucky.” space.com
… my little heart goes pitter-pat. The Starship prototypes are already under development with several tests completed, and the latest, #8, is about to launch for a major test flight.
I’m so used to space missions requiring patience. It takes years and sometimes decades to launch a probe. Americans don’t want to see NASA astronauts die in space, so with all today’s caution and redundancies, crewed missions feel distant no matter what schedule is announced. But private companies are different.
Musk wants to die on Mars (“just not from impact,” as he’s said.) Yeah, he’s only 49 years old, but he’s impatient. Will he travel on that first flight? Will it really take off in four to six years? Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Can’t wait to find out.
If you can’t wait either, take a scifi trip to the first near-future colony. But be warned: something’s terribly wrong on Mars.
