Elon Musk Aims for Mars with Starship

March 18, 2025

Elon Musk has promised to send the Starship to Mars by the end of next year - with the Optimus robot on board, who will become the first colonist. If everything goes successfully, missions with humans will start in the 2029-2031 timeframe. In the meantime, Starship is actively being tested on Earth - although recently, not everything is going smoothly and the ships have had to be blown up.
