The crew of Polaris Dawn, the first mission of Jared Issacman’s Polaris Program. Since the update, Jared Issacman, commander of Inspiration4, announced a new program, Polaris. When he said soon, we didn’t expect it to be the following Monday. These Gen2 Starlink satellites will be crucial to making Starlink commercially viable and support the cost of building a Martian colony.Įlon hinted that future missions were coming to both Dragon and Starship. Finally, SpaceX will launch Starlink payloads on the early flights.
In part of the Artemis program, NASA is paying SpaceX to develop and fly a lunar lander version of Starship for a human landing in 2025/2026. The site only states that candidates are finishing up medical checkups.Īnother mission is NASA’s Human Landing System contract.
The mission’s website hasn’t been updated since last September. Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten any real updates about this mission. First was dearMoon, a mission to send artists around the Moon. Commerical mission to come to Starship in the near futureĪs of the event, there were three programs lined up to use Starship. Between crew and cargo, there will be a lot of launches needed to get that colony started. There isn’t a market to commercially support this launch schedule, but there is when building a colony on Mars. This is where we will see these crazy numbers SpaceX is giving us, like ten Starships launching three times a day.
According to him, it would take about one million pounds of cargo sent to the surface of Mars to get the colony there. Elon mentioned during the event that creating a Martian colony isn’t enough, but we need to make the colony self-sufficient. To start, SpaceX is selling Starship as a commercial launcher, but its true mission is to help build a colony on Mars. One million pounds needed for Martian colony I don’t know if it was standing in the presence of Starship or the words out of Elon’s mouth, but I left that event feeling more confident that SpaceX can develop this rocket, and now they just have to find a way to sell and launch it.
