SpaceX's Elon Musk announced plans for the Starship rocket to reach a height of 500 feet, with each launch estimated to cost $3 million, as the company aims for Mars missions. The rocket's reusability and cost reduction are key focuses, with Musk emphasizing the potential for thousands of launches to support eventual settlement on Mars. Despite delays impacting NASA's Artemis program, Musk remains optimistic about Starship's capabilities and envisions a future with regular launches and a "Moon Base Alpha."
