SpaceX intends to ship its first cargo to Mars in 2022 and send people to the Red Planet only two years after this first mission, according to the company's plan, voiced by its founder and CEO Elon Musk.
In addition, a rocket built to travel throughout our solar system can revolutionize travel on Earth, says the Australian tycoon. Using a BFR system consisting of a launcher and a transport unit operating on it, which flies at a maximum speed of almost 29,000 km / h, it ensures that we can fly anywhere on Earth in less than an hour. Elon Musk also assures that the price of the ticket on this flight will not be much different from the cost of space in a regular airplane.
BFR (Big Fucking Rocket) is the next SpaceX rocket after Falcon Heavy, which Musk will launch this year. Unlike all of its previous rockets, it will be reused. With these characteristics, he seeks to do things like replenishing the International Space Station, flying to the Red Planet or traveling to the surface of the Moon.
The new BFR measures 106 meters in height and 9 meters in diameter.
It will take place for 150 tons of cargo and will remain fully re-used. With several engines, it is built as reliably as an airplane capable of landing, even if the engine fails, and which is so accurate in the landing that it does not even need a chassis. In the next

you can see a small film, which shows the idea of Musca about what the future trips will look like.
I think transoceanic flight travelling at 29,000 km / h carrying passenger will be a wonderful step forward to in the history of air travel. But I am still skeptic about the safety of the passenger.
