Elon Musk has made an announcement: ‘Starship flight to Mars crewed by Optimus in Nov/Dec next year’

Elon Musk has adjusted SpaceX's Mars mission timeline, pushing back the potential Starship launch to 2028 for an uncrewed flight and 2030 for a crewed mission. Technical challenges, including Starship failures and delays in mastering in-space propellant refuelling, have contributed to this shift.
