Elon Musk Says SpaceX Will "Probably" Be Ready To Land Humans On Moon Before 2024
SpaceX founder and Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) owner Elon Musk on Saturday said that he expects to have the Starship lunar lander ready for the moon mission before 2024.
SpaceX创始人和特斯拉公司(纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA)所有者埃隆·马斯克周六表示，他希望在2024年之前让星际飞船的月球着陆器为月球任务做好准备。
When asked about Starship's progress on the moon mission project on Twitter by the account "Everything Artemis", Musk replied, "probably sooner." In April, SpaceX got the $2.89 billion NASA contract to build the lunar lander. The company won the contract over two other bidders, including Amazon.com's (NASDAQ:AMZN) Jeff Bezos Blue Origin. NASA hopes to test crewed Artemis flights by 2023, with the Moon landing in 2024. According to the report, SpaceX's HLS Starship would remain in space, used for multiple trips between lunar orbit and the Moon's surface. The Starship is capable of carrying up to 100 people at a time to the Red Planet. In its Artemis overview, the agency said, "2024 is not an arbitrary date. It is the most ambitious date possible, and our success at the Moon, and later, at Mars, will be grounded in our national goals and robust capabilities." Musk says he plans to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050.
当推特上账号为“一切阿耳特弥斯”(Everything Artemis)的账号问及“星际飞船”在月球任务项目上的进展时，马斯克回答说：“可能会更快。”今年4月，SpaceX获得了美国国家航空航天局(NASA)价值28.9亿美元的建造月球着陆器的合同。该公司击败了另外两家投标者赢得了合同，其中包括亚马逊的(纳斯达克股票代码：AMZN)杰夫·贝佐斯蓝色起源公司(Jeff Bezos Blue Origin)NASA希望在2023年之前测试阿耳特弥斯的载人飞行，2024年登月。根据这份报告，SpaceX的HLS星际飞船将留在太空中，用于月球轨道和月球表面之间的多次旅行。这艘星际飞船一次最多可搭载100人前往这颗红色星球。在其阿耳特弥斯概述中，该机构表示，“2024年不是一个武断的日期。这是一个可能最雄心勃勃的日期，我们在月球以及后来在火星取得的成功，将建立在我们的国家目标和强大的能力基础上。”马斯克表示，他计划到2050年将100万人送上火星。
