Elon Musk's Ambitious Plans for Starship and Mars Landing

Elon Musk expressed optimism that SpaceX's Starship rocket won't explode in its next launch attempt, but also acknowledged uncertainty. The first orbital flight test of the Starship in April ended in an explosion. Musk mentioned that SpaceX is developing a "hot stage" system to ignite the rocket's second stage before separation, which he considers the riskiest part of the flight. Despite the uncertain odds, Musk remains hopeful for a successful launch into orbit.
