SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years. If those all land safely, crewed missions are possible in four years. No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity. The fundamental existential question is whether humanity can sustainably multi-plane before something happens on Earth to prevent that.
