SpaceX has informed its investors that the company will prioritize lunar missions before attempting a Mars journey. Reports state that SpaceX aims to conduct an unmanned moon landing in March 2027.
Musk wrote on social media on the 9th, "For those who are not aware, SpaceX has shifted its focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we may achieve this within less than 10 years, whereas it would take more than 20 years on Mars."
Comment: The shift of SpaceX's focus from Mars to the Moon and the goal of an unmanned moon landing by 2027 marks a crucial adjustment from idealism to pragmatic business. This is not only to fulfill cooperation commitments with NASA and stabilize funding and technical progress, but also because the Moon is closer, has a shorter cycle, and is easier to quickly establish a city.
