Also, Elon Musk was looking at increasing public interest in exploration, as well as providing a science base on Mars.
Musk seeks to transport satellites into low-Earth orbit, astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station and all kinds of missions to the Moon.
However, his ultimate goal is to use Starship to move people and goods to Mars and establish a society there.
SpaceX had launched 53 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC-4E), on Thursday, October 27, 2022 at 6:14 p.m. PT.
The Starlink broadband satellites landed on a ship at sea.
The launch took place at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, without any record of malfunctions or mishap.
The company now ranks number two on the list of NASA’s top vendors.
