During its ninth test flight, SpaceX's Starship rocket encountered significant issues, with the first-stage booster exploding and the second-stage spacecraft, despite reaching space, subsequently losing control. Despite these setbacks, SpaceX remains committed to launching five unmanned Starships to Mars next year, equipped with Tesla Optimus robots. However, SpaceX founder Elon Musk frequently faces criticism for setting overly ambitious timelines. Despite securing a multi-billion dollar contract from NASA to provide a lunar lander for the Artemis III mission, Musk believes the moon landing plan is overly cautious, advocating instead for the establishment of a lunar base or the direct sending of humans to Mars. These bold aspirations necessitate numerous technological advancements.
