WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - Starship will fly to Mars in five years, SpaceX founder Elon Musk said on Sunday, thus confirming his long-time idea to make human life multi-planetary.
"Starship will be on Mars within 5 years," Musk posted on his social media profile.
On Thursday, SpaceX launched its third test flight of the Starship rocket from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, with the rocket reaching orbital speed for the first time.
Starship was sending imagery until about 48.5 minutes after the launch, but SpaceX later confirmed it had lost the spacecraft as it attempted a re-entry for a splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
