According to the entrepreneur, we are talking about a 50% chance that everything will go according to plan. The billionaire made the relevant statement at the Morgan Stanley conference. He also noted that Starship’s maiden flight “wouldn’t be boring” regardless of the outcome.
Recall that this model of the SpaceX spacecraft was developed primarily for the delivery of people and cargo to the Moon and Mars. And only then, with its help, specialists intend to carry out other missions in space.
Starship was designed to be the most powerful rocket launched from Earth. It is capable of delivering 2.5 times more thrust than the heavy Saturn V rocket during launch.
Recall that the first launch of the ship is scheduled for the first quarter of this year. This means less than a month before the flight.
