        SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars
        in two years, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk
        
        said
        
        in a post on social media platform X on Sunday.
        
        "If those all land safely, then crewed missions are
        possible in four years," he said, adding that in case of any
        challenges the crewed missions will be postponed another two
        years.
        
        "No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX
        will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars
        exponentially with every transit opportunity," the SpaceX
        founder said.
        
        Musk mentioned the launch of the uncrewed Starships to
        Mars earlier this month in a
        
        post
        
        on X, saying "first Starships to Mars will launch in 2
        years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens."
