Research into the mysteries of the universe is increasing day by day. With these studies, it is predicted that humans will set foot on Mars in the near future. According to the latest news, it is claimed that SpaceX, one of the most important space companies in the world, will have an important role in this regard.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated that people will set foot on Mars in 2029 with a post he made. Now, there is an explanation about when this task will be done.
Humans will be able to go to Mars in five or six years
SpaceX President and Director of Operations Gwyne Shotwell said in a statement that astronauts will likely reach the Martian surface before the end of their 2020s. In addition, Shotwell said in his statement that they need to make a large delivery to the surface of Mars.
He also stated that in this way, people will think more about going to the planet. After these words, the businessman also stated that people will see Mars as a place to go within five or six years. The company aims to turn this ambitious vision into reality. It is also developing a massive, reusable spacecraft called ‘Starship’ to take humans and payloads beyond the Moon or Mars.
This vehicle, which is planned for the first orbital test in the near future, also has the potential to be a turning point. Planning to send humans to the Moon in 2025, NASA sees its mission as a mission from the Moon to Mars. NASA experts, on the other hand, think that the mission will take place in the 2040s. This is ten years after Shotwell’s prediction.
