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創始人和特斯拉公司(納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA)所有者埃隆·馬斯克週六表示，他希望在2024年之前讓星際飛船的月球着陸器為月球任務做好準備。
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.
當推特上賬號為“一切阿耳特彌斯”(Everything Artemis)的賬號問及“星際飛船”在月球任務項目上的進展時，馬斯克回答説：“可能會更快。”今年4月，SpaceX獲得了美國國家航空航天局(NASA)價值28.9億美元的建造月球着陸器的合同。該公司擊敗了另外兩家投標者贏得了合同，其中包括亞馬遜的(納斯達克股票代碼：AMZN)傑夫·貝佐斯藍色起源公司(Jeff Bezos Blue Origin)NASA希望在2023年之前測試阿耳特彌斯的載人飛行，2024年登月。根據這份報告，SpaceX的HLS星際飛船將留在太空中，用於月球軌道和月球表面之間的多次旅行。這艘星際飛船一次最多可搭載100人前往這顆紅色星球。在其阿耳特彌斯概述中，該機構表示，“2024年不是一個武斷的日期。這是一個可能最雄心勃勃的日期，我們在月球以及後來在火星取得的成功，將建立在我們的國家目標和強大的能力基礎上。”馬斯克表示，他計劃到2050年將100萬人送上火星。
