- Neuroscience.Musk announces its progress to connect brain and computers
The mogul Elon Musk has just unveiled the latest news from his aerospace company SpaceX, a vehicle called 'Starship' ('Spacecraft') with which he hopes it will be possible to take humans to the Moon and Mars.
Musk showed the prototype, animations and plans of his new design to a group of space exploration enthusiasts last Saturday night, in the small town of Boca Chica (Texas).
The first planned step, which could be taken in the next six months, would be an orbital flight of the rocket, from which it would begin to think of manned missions to the terrestrial satellite and the red planet.
"This is basically the Holy Grail of space," Musk said. "The critical step we needed to become a space civilization is to make space travel like air travel."
Starship is 118 meters high, winged rocket shape, is bright metallic and is designed with the aim of carrying and bringing dozens of people to the Moon and Mars.
The Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has reserved since last year the first place in a private flight of the ship.
