"No human is going to Mars anytime soon, if ever. "

"We will not go [to Mars] until the American people and the international community are ready and decide that it is a priority."

"No earlier than 2040 and no later than 2100."

NASA may send humans to Mars "approximately in the 2030s."

"NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid by 2025 and Mars in the 2030s."

"If those [uncrewed] landings go well, then the first crewed flights to Mars will be in 4 years."

"We will lead the world in space and reach Mars before the end of my term."

Will the US Send Astronauts to Mars?

The Department of the Air Force issued a record of decision approving SpaceX to develop Space Launch Complex 37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station for Starship operations, with construction already underway as of early December 2025.

The approval allows SpaceX to conduct up to 76 Starship launches and 152 landings annually at Space Launch Complex 37, pending completion of a supplemental Federal Aviation Administration analysis of airspace impacts before operations can begin.

SpaceX is also pursuing development of Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center for Starship operations, with the Federal Aviation Administration preparing a separate Environmental Impact Statement that analyzes up to 44 launches and 88 landings per year.

Space Launch Delta 45 commander Col. Brian Chatman stated that the first Starship launch from Kennedy Space Center could occur in early to mid 2026, with the Eastern Range prepared to support operations at that time.

The combined worst case scenario of up to 120 Starship launches and 240 landings from both Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center sites could lead to approximately 12,000 delayed commercial flights annually.

The Starship vehicle towers at more than 400 feet tall and launches with nearly 17 million pounds of thrust, which is more than twice the power of the Saturn V rockets used during the Apollo program.
