flag SpaceX now prioritizes a lunar city over Mars, aiming for launch within a decade.

flag Elon Musk has announced that SpaceX is now prioritizing the development of a self-sustaining lunar city over Mars colonization, aiming to establish the settlement within less than a decade. flag The shift is driven by the Moon’s proximity, allowing launch windows every 10 days—compared to Mars’s 26-month cycle—enabling faster testing and iteration. flag While Mars remains a long-term goal, Musk emphasized the Moon’s role as a practical testing ground for technologies and infrastructure needed for deeper space exploration. flag SpaceX will continue advancing its Starship spacecraft to support both lunar and Martian missions, with uncrewed Starship landings planned for 2027. flag The company’s focus reflects a strategic recalibration toward near-term feasibility, international competition, and leveraging lunar resources for future space-based industries.
