By 2050, SpaceX plans to ship one million people from Earth to Mars.

To do this, they need to build a hundred Starship ships a year. Each time the orbits of Earth and Mars are well placed for flight (this happens every 26 months), SpaceX plans to send 100,000 people to Mars.

Mask plans to launch about a thousand spaceships into Earth’s orbit. They will fly out within a month when Earth and Mars are in the closest distance.

“The goal of the Star Ship project is an average speed of 3 flights a day, so ~ 1000 flights / year at> 100 tons / flight, so every 10 ships put 1 megaton per year into orbit,” – said Musk.
