Weren’t we supposed to have already put astronauts on Mars by this year?
Elon Musk’s dream of sending humans to Mars could come true in the next decade.
Speaking at Vox Media’s Code Conference, the SpaceX CEO said he believes it’s possible to send the first humans to the Red Planet by 2025.
“If things go according to plan, we should be able to launch people probably in 2024 with arrival in 2025,” Musk said. His timeline puts the privately held SpaceX ahead of NASA’s goal of sending the first astronauts to Mars sometime in the 2030s.
Also, note that Edolf just says it’ll “launch” next year, maybe. No guarantee that it’ll even make it out of the atmosphere, of course, never mind making it as far as our red neighbour, given some of SpaceX’s recent misadventures…
