At the end of last month, the ASI had made an agreement to coordinate the coordination of the Italian Space Agency with NASA’s 2020 partnership under Artemis agreements with the Thales Alenia area to develop the first human moon station.

In addition, around 2028 Rosalind Franklin Rover, aiming to market the Exomars Mission was intensively.

Meanwhile, SpaceX, who once made a surprising and predictable, other than commercialization of space launches, has already jumped to reserve Mars trips. The company, which has been a NASA contractor for a long time, offers satellite launch services to Eutelsat’s Oneweb and AST Spacemobile.

A few days ago, Amazon, who had chef Jeff Bezos’s own rival rocket company Blue Origin, touched Musk’s company for the second time and launched the fourth Kuiper satellites in the 100th of SpaceX.^th This year’s duty. And Musk was definitely vocal about his plans to maintain Mars colonization, which was once echoed by US President Donald Trump’s administration.

SpaceX’s reusable Mamut Rocket Star Ship-The key to performing Mars ambitions-this year had a long-standing promotional flight error in the midst of technical and fuel supply problems. We are about to see that these difficulties have not been overcome within three months since their last explosive post. This is jumping a June event that a star ship rocket exploded as methane and liquid oxygen repulsion before the launch – when it matters, Musk said laterBy referring to the preliminary data in the Gulf of Freight.

Starship is not yet ready for the crew to speak in a critical way, and Musk himself pushed his first goals back, and in 2026, the world and the red planet were best aligned to travel to Mars.

“The chance to start by Optimus in Mars by Optimus in November/December next year. He has to do a lot for this,” He said it on social media last week.

“More likely, ~ The first flight in 3.5 years, the future flight with people ~ 5.5 years.

It may seem too early to start selling tickets to Mars, it is not a secret that worldwide launch capacity is fighting to meet the demand for space access. Time will tell if the enthusiasm of ASI is ultimately strategic or early.
