Elon Musk has outlined plans for SpaceX's Starship to transport the Tesla Optimus humanoid robot to Mars by late 2026, with the possibility of human landings occurring by 2029. Musk's ambitious timeline builds on previous projections, asserting that the rockets will dominate payload delivery to orbit. He emphasizes that sustaining a civilization on Mars requires a reliable launch rate, and predicts that SpaceX could eventually be responsible for over 99% of all payloads sent into orbit, an integral step toward establishing human life on Mars.
Elon Musk has announced that the SpaceX Starship will carry the Optimus humanoid robot to Mars by the end of 2026, aiming for human landings shortly after.
Musk stated he believes SpaceX launches will eventually account for over 99% of Earth's orbital payload, essential for establishing a self-sustaining Martian civilization.
Last year, Musk predicted SpaceX could initiate uncrewed launches in 2016, involving both Optimus and a Cybertruck, showcasing his ambitious timeline.
Musk's vision extends to making Mars a thriving colony, which he foresees starting with uncrewed missions and potentially human landings by 2029 at the earliest.
