SpaceX's Ambitious Mars Plans and Recent Astronaut Return
Elon Musk has revealed that SpaceX's Starship rocket is set for a Mars flight by the end of 2026, initially carrying the humanoid robot Optimus. Should this mission succeed, manned missions may follow as early as 2029, although 2031 seems more likely.
Starship, the largest rocket ever built, aims to be fully reusable, thus reducing costs for space exploration. Recent test flights have faced challenges, including an explosion during the latest launch, prompting investigations by the FAA.
Meanwhile, NASA and SpaceX have successfully launched a mission to bring home astronauts stranded on the International Space Station for nine months, overcoming technical delays associated with the Starliner spacecraft.
