Musk showed a crowd of space enthusiasts and reporters at SpaceX’s rocket development site late on Saturday in the remote village of Boca Chica, Texas, animations of Starship landing on the moon and Mars.
He predicted that the rocket’s first orbital flight could come in the next six months, followed by missions to space with humans aboard the next year.
