Starship has the capability to fly humans to the surface of the Moon and Mars. An ultimate objective of SpaceX is to develop self-sustaining cities on Mars, and current SpaceX architecture plans call for multiple Starship flights to be launched to Mars at every launch opportunity (~2 years)...
"If we fail to reach the launch schedule for at least one Starship every two weeks, then we may indeed be threatened with bankruptcy," he said in a letter to company employees. According to the head of SpaceX, the situation with the pace of production of rocket engines in the company ...
