Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX's Starship will travel to Mars at the end of 2026, carrying Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, adding that human landings could follow as early as 2029.
Musk emphasized that the timeline depends on the success of initial landings. "If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely," he said.
He shared the update shortly after his company launched a relief crew for stranded NASA astronauts.
