Elon Musk Plans to Send Uncrewed Starship to Mars by End of 2026
Elon Musk aims to send the uncrewed Starship to Mars by the end of 2026. The timeline is dependent on future test-flight progress and overcoming the hurdle of orbital refueling. The end of 2026 aligns with the planets, missing which would result in a two-year delay. NASA also targets a Starship moon mission in 2027 as a step towards Mars. Musk presented a detailed development timeline for Starship through SpaceX.
