Elon Musk Mars Travel

The test flight of Starship in April ended in a mid-flight explosion within four minutes of its take off

The goal is to make "space travel like air travel", Musk said, during a highly technical presentation from the company's Boca Chica test site near Brownsville, Texas

Perhaps the biggest danger is that Musk's vision of colonizing Mars looks too much like a disposable Earth philosophy - we've messed up this planet, so time to move on to the next

SpaceX will use a commercial, Earth-based model of its transport systems to fund interplanetary exploration

A major challenge is to reduce the cost per tonne of transporting materials to Mars by 5 mn %
