Prediction

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated that the company plans to launch approximately five uncrewed Starships to Mars within the next two years. If these initial missions land successfully, crewed missions could potentially follow in four years.

My Thoughts

In 2024 when Elon Musk made this prediction, it seemed unlikely. But now, in 2025, it seems nearly impossible. SpaceX has reliably launched and landed rockets, but sending five uncrewed missions to Mars in two years?
