SpaceX to send five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years

FIVE uncrewed Starship missions to Mars will be launched in two years according to an X post of SpaceX founder Elin Musk. 

Musk said, the first crewed mission timeline will depend on the success of the uncrewed flights. In four years, crewed missions will be launched if the unmanned missions land safely. 

However, crewed missions will be delayed by an additional two years in case of difficulties. 

Earlier this year, Musk stated that the first unmanned spacecraft would arrive on Mars in five years, and the first humans would follow in seven years. 

A Starship rocket completed a full test voyage around the world on its fourth attempt in June, surviving a fiery, supersonic return from space and accomplishing a ground-breaking landing demonstration in the Indian Ocean.

The businessman is relying on Starship to fulfill his goal of building a multifunctional next-generation spacecraft that can transport people to the moon and Mars.
