The hype I'll have when the first starship launches will be immeasurable.

I have complete respect for Elon Musk, as he is ACTUALLY working hard to accomplish something that will have a big impact on humanity.

[lawrencei]

Ima start writing the mars international anthem

[emilianoludovico]

This guy is literally single-handedly carrying humanity

[Warbay]

First city on mars should be named Elon

[ThomasPH]

I want to live long enough to see a manned mars mission.

[KawsarAhmed-qqfq]

Elon musk is a true hero. Love from Bangladesh.

[abrahamcherry]

Iam with Elon musk. Eagerly waiting to see human race going to Mars then to Titan, Europa and going beyond to become interstellar beings. My salutations.

[wuddadid]

Such a down to Mars guy.

In all seriousness though, I hope that he is alive to see us reach Mars. I really do.

[gruffmorris]

I love Elon, he has all my values but is on the way to Mars! He is a Legend!

[nicolaslanglais]

Elon has a Dell XPS. Just like me! Most idiotic camera placement ever.

[musiclovingchick]

Ugh I love him so much. Gives me hope for the future and for humanity. He’s amazing!

[JohnnyThundr]

There is still a shot at 2022, Musk is just being more realistic about his timetables...

[TheLeontheking]

As starlink will be a service available to the public that will generate a steady income for them (just think about a few million households using and paying for starlink every month), i think an exponential rate of innovation is not unrealistic.They will be able to hire more engineers, technicians, and maybe even buy more land for new facilities like in boca chica.

[BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Yeah Elon, Testing systems while risking minimal Raptors is a good strategy..

[PabloEzequielLeone]

In my eyes.... bringing people to mars with todays technology would be a challenge similar to Apolo 11 mission.
People in 2100 will look back and think how we dare to accomplish such an epic with our technology.

[aldoushuxley]

The greatest man alive.
God bless Elon Musk

[PabloEzequielLeone]

It'll be amazing to be able to think this big and wake every morning to see it happening in front of your eyes!

[maciejhanke]

So basically the 2022 and 2024 dates switched to 2024 and 2026

It's still remarkable, since we'll see first crewed mission land on Mars in 2027

[AvyScottandFlower]

This timeline sounds much more realistic than the typical aspirational ones..
