The rocket has seen multiple failures during tests, including a recent explosion shortly after takeoff from Texas, marked as a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." SpaceX has stated that it will analyze the incident to understand the underlying causes. Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has mandated an investigation before any further launches can occur.
NASA plans to utilize a modified version of the Starship for its Artemis lunar missions, with Musk's vision extending beyond the Moon, aiming to transform humanity into a "multi-planetary" species. The initial Mars mission is set to carry Tesla's humanoid robot "Optimus," designed to handle various tasks and priced between $20,000 and $30,000.
Recently, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket, delivering a crew to the International Space Station (ISS), although astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams have faced extended stays due to technical difficulties with their Boeing-built spacecraft.
This ambitious agenda to reach Mars and beyond represents Musk's enduring commitment to space exploration and technological innovation.
