Elon Musk Says First Starship Mars Mission In Two Years; Make America Healthy Again To Ensure...

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said via X on Saturday evening that the Starship mega rocket will begin flying Mars missions in two years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. The mission will be uncrewed and aim to test the rocket's ability to land intact on Mars, as Musk's dreams of occupying the Red Planet could become a reality within the next two decades. 

"The first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens," Musk wrote on X. 

He explained, "These will be uncrewed to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years," adding, "Flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years. Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness, as we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet." 

Musk's post quoted his post about making life multi-planetary while quoting billionaire Bill Ackman's post about 'Making America Healthy Again.'

It has been long known that Mars wasn't always in the obit that it now has. In fact, Mars was once a rogue planet, that traveled the Solar System in a highly elliptical orbit. It crossed Earth's orbit with near flybys several times over the eons. Consider "THE MARS-EARTH WARS" at https://www.creationism.org/patten/PattenMarsEarthWars/, and particularly Chapter 9, Note # 2 in "ENDNOTES."
