You too could die for a good cause on Mars, Elon Musk said at an early Friday morning SpaceX press event that was billed as a major update on the company’s Starship spacecraft but was more of a sales pitch and philosophical mission statement.
In an event live-streamed from the SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, Mr. Musk spoke on a stage with the recently fully stacked Starship and Super Heavy booster, but mostly covered already known technical details of the vehicle and his philosophical justifications for building a rocket he hopes will help found a city on Mars.
