Musk to send starship to Mars in 2 years: If test succeeds, humans too, says – Aim to establish city in 20 years

Elon Musk's company SpaceX is going to send the world's most powerful starship rocket to Mars in the next 2 years. The purpose of this flight is to test the landing of a starship on Mars. No human will be present in this yatra. Musk gave this information by tweeting on the social media platform. Musk said that if the first flight and landing are successful, we will send the first crew to Mars in the next 4 years. After this, the starship will be sent a short distance to Mars. Our goal is to establish a city on Mars within the next 20 years. Living on more than one planet would increase the chances of life continuing. This is because then there would be no danger of life ending due to the death of a planet. The Starship was successfully tested in June, before Musk said in March that an uncrewed Starship would land on Mars within the next 5 years. After this, in another 2 years we will send humans to Mars. The Starship rocket was then successfully tested in June after 3 failed launches. During this time the starship was brought back to Earth after being launched into space and made a successful landing in the Indian Ocean. The purpose of the test was to see if the starship could survive during reentry into Earth's atmosphere. The Starship system is completely reusable Elon Musk's company SpaceX built the Starship rocket. Starship spacecraft and super heavy boosters are collectively called 'starships'. The height of this vehicle is 397 feet. It is fully reusable and capable of carrying a load of 150 metric tons. The Starship system will be able to carry 100 people to Mars at once. Starship System Starship will send humans to Mars This launch is important because only this spaceship will make humans interplanetary. That is, with its help, for the first time man will set foot on a planet other than Earth. Musk wants to send humans to Mars by 2029 and establish a colony there. Spaceships will be able to transport humans to any corner of the world in less than an hour. What is the need to establish a colony on Mars? On the need to colonize Mars, Elon Musk says – 'A life-ending event on Earth could spell the end of humanity, but if we build our base on Mars, humanity can survive there.' Millions of years ago, dinosaurs also died out on Earth due to an end-of-life event. At the same time, Professor Stephen Hawking also said in 2017 that humans would have to expand in 100 years if they were to survive.
