But while a robot might be the first to touch Martian soil, Musk has his sights set on human landings soon after. Will Starship succeed in overcoming its technical hurdles and truly pave the way for interplanetary travel? The path to Mars is far from clear, but Musk’s vision for humanity’s future on the Red Planet is undeniably captivating.
