Musk emphasized that a trip from Earth to Mars is only possible every two years, when the planets align. Although this complicates the task, such synchronization also protects Mars from potential catastrophic events on Earth.

SpaceX plans to increase the number of spacecraft for flights to Mars with each new opportunity. The goal is to give everyone who dreams of space adventures the opportunity to go to Mars.

At the same time, Musk expressed concern about the impact of government bureaucracy on the Starship program, noting that it slows down all major projects in the United States. He also emphasized that further growth of bureaucracy under the Democratic Party administration could destroy the Mars flight program and jeopardize the future of humanity.

He also called for support for his efforts, calling this a crucial moment in the fate of humanity.

Recall

SpaceX has postponed the launch of the Polaris Dawn mission with the first private spacewalk due to a helium leak. The 4-man crew was supposed to fly 1400 km from Earth during the 5-day mission.
