Elon Musk’s Starship to Mars: Historic Launch Set for 2026!
Washington: SpaceX founder Elon Musk has announced that his Starship rocket will launch to Mars in late 2026.
The mission will also include Tesla’s humanoid robot Optimus, which will be able to perform various tasks in the future.
If the mission is successful, human missions could be possible by 2029, although 2031 is a more likely year.
Elon Musk said on his social media platform X that the Optimus robots will be able to do household chores and provide companionship, and will cost between $20,000 and $30,000.
Starship, the world’s largest and most powerful rocket, is a key pillar of Musk’s dream of colonizing Mars.
It stands 403 feet tall, about 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty, and will be fully reusable in the future.
