Starship can carry more than 100 metric tonnes (220.462 pounds), making this the most powerful launch vehicle ever developed. This payload is sufficient to support long-distance space travel.

Musk could be on the sidelines if his engineering team fails to reach its goal of landing the first crewed missions to Mars by 2029. This would mean that Musk might not be there.

He would be only 57 years old by that time, and his son X wouldn’t even be 10.
