Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus.
If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely.
Elon Musk: Starship is gigantic compared to anything that's ever been done before.
“Starship is gigantic compared to anything that's ever been done before. This is not like a tiny little thing lands on the moon. This is a giant-ass spaceship lands on the moon.
It's capable of putting 100 tons of payload on the moon, so a lot. We can go way beyond what was done with the Apollo program, where they just had a small lander, and they were on the surface of the moon for some number of hours, and then they got back in and took off.
The Apollo program was not capable of building a moon base. But the Starship system is capable of building a moon base. It's designed to be capable of building a city on the moon or Mars. That's what the system is designed to be able to do.”

WHILE DEMS SCREAM, ELON IS REWRITING HUMANITY'S FUTURE
While Democrats freak out, Elon is casually slashing $1T from federal bloat via DOGE - and even Trump’s clapping for the efficiency flex.
Neuralink let a human move a cursor with their mind. Starship nailed orbit and came back. Tesla pushed 2M EVs out the door in a year while Cybertruck made electric tanks cool.
Starlink's lighting up 5M remote users. Vegas now has underground transit thanks to The Boring Company.
And 𝕏? It's the free speech platform now - cry harder.
Dems can whine. Elon’s building the future.
