What if Elon Musk never really cared about the Moon at all? While the world is focused on nasa’s Artemis missions, SpaceX might already be skipping ahead—to Mars. And according to recent plans, the first Starship payload could reach the Red Planet as early as 2026. For years, Musk has viewed the Moon as little more than a distraction. In his eyes, every move should point toward Mars colonization—anything else is just noise. That’s why every step Starship takes is aligned with its ultimate purpose, even if that means reluctantly joining nasa’s geopolitical race through Artemis, becoming an independent player that doesn’t follow nasa’s political rhythm, and accepting the criticism for appearing slow. Yes, it may look like a conflict with SpaceX’s original mission, or even a waste of resources. But in reality, it’s a calculated strategy—Riding the wave of Nasa's budget and power. Elon Musk’s Insane 2026 Starship Plan Shocks NASA and China: Skipping Moon for Mars... For those who don’t know, in August, SpaceX made a deal with Italy’s space agency to send scientific experiments like plants and sensors to Mars on early Starship cargo missions scheduled to begin in late 2026. For many, this move sent a clear message: SpaceX isn’t just talking about Mars colonization anymore; it’s officially launching its Commercial Mars Services and is determined to reach the Red Planet as soon as possible. Sending equipment in this case helps SpaceX learn how to survive and build a future on the Red Planet. This mission also stands in sharp contrast to the now-canceled Dear Moon project—a 2018 private trip around the Moon funded by a Japanese billionaire. That mission offered little in terms of real progress toward lunar colonization. Elon Musk’s Insane 2026 Starship Plan Shocks NASA and China: Skipping Moon for Mars... This difference further highlights a fact that: Elon pushing Mars colonization so much harder than settling the Moon. So, why? Well, the answer starts with survival. SpaceX’s big-picture goal is to give humanity a backup home—somewhere far enough away to stay safe even if Earth faces a global disaster like nuclear war or civilization collapse. The Moon? It’s too close. If something catastrophic happens on Earth, the Moon could be affected too. And honestly, living on the Moon is much tougher than most people think. The worst problem there isn’t just the lack of air—it’s the dust. Lunar dust is sharper and more abrasive than anything on Mars because it’s never been weathered by wind or water. Imagine ultra-sharp asbestos that sticks to everything. It clings to spacesuits, scratches equipment, and when astronauts walk back inside, it rides along with them. === Subcribe TechMap: http://tinyurl.com/3z5ysrtf
