WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – American billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said on Friday that his SpaceX Starship should get to the Moon in less than five years.
«Starship should be able to make it to the moon in less than five years,» Musk said on his social media platform X.
SpaceX will also take astronauts furthest they have been past half a century during this year, Musk added.
