But it's worth noting that the SpaceX CEO's forecasts often slip.
Space X is aiming to launch “about five” uncrewed Starship voyages to Mars in two years’ time, according to a post on X by Space X CEO Elon Musk on Sunday.
Recommended Videos It’s worth noting that Musk’s space-based timelines often slip. In 2016, he said SpaceX was panning to send a rocket to Mars “as soon as 2018,” and in 2022 he said the Starship could make its first flight to the distant planet this year. The FAA is currently investigating the environmental impact of the Starship flights, along with the safety measures being put in place for the fifth one, and SpaceX can’t fly until that investigation is complete. Much to SpaceX’s annoyance, the FAA said recently said that it would need until at least the end of November to finish its work.
It added that Musk’s spaceflight company also submitted new information in August “detailing how the environmental impact of Flight 5 will cover a larger area than previously reviewed this requires the FAA to consult with other agencies,” meaning that more time is needed to complete its investigation than originally expected.
