Musk has bold plans for Starship, as he announced the bold timeline for when the rocket will start making trips to Mars. The first missions will be unmanned: “The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. These will be uncrewed to tes...
SpaceX's Starship is made of stainless steel and runs on liquid methane.Credit: SpaceX Starship is intended to eventually evolve into a fully reusable launch and landing system, designed for trips to the moon, Mars, and perhaps other destinations. Its intended reusability is "the holy grail ...
as happened on Earth millions of years ago. Still, others parry that the two planets' atmospheres are radically different. If the miracle does happen, it will clearly not be in 2024, when the first settlers are due to go to Mars. The mission is equated with suicid...
But while the SpaceX team may be almost ready for the fourth flight — also from Starbase — the company is still waiting for a launch permit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which will only be given once agency officials have completed their investigation into the third flight ...

If we do this on Mars, energy from the sun might be used as a catalyst (催化剂). The idea will also make space travel more eco-friendly. “If the CO2-based fuel could be used in a rocket launch, we could prevent 715 tons of CO2from being emitted into the air,” said Stafford ...
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said it will oversee an investigation by SpaceX into the dramatic rocket launch. “There are no reports of public injury, and the FAA is working with SpaceX and appropriate authorities to confirm reports of public property damage on Turks and Ca...
