Musk claims that SpaceX might send a spacecraft to Mars in three to four years

In the next four years, according to SpaceX’s CEO, Starship might land on Mars.

In the next three to four years, according to SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk, his business may be able to land a spacecraft on Mars. 

The internet tycoon spoke on Thursday during an online lecture at the International Astronautical Congress in Baku, Azerbaijan, where he also took part in an hour-long Q&A session with Clay Mowry, the head of the International Astronautical Federation.

When asked how soon Starship would be able to land on Mars without a crew, Musk responded, “I think three or four years.”

He went on to describe the potential uses for Starship, imagining scenarios like “breakfast in LA, lunch in London, dinner in Singapore, and then back in L.A. for bedtime.”

“I think it’s sort of feasible within the next four years to do an uncrewed test landing there,” Musk stated.

Musk expressed his long-standing desire for the Starship rocket to enable the landing of humans on Mars, even though he emphasized not wanting to set expectations “too high.”
