Elon Musk is now reported to be prioritizing the mission to the Moon first, thus delaying the mission to Mars. Previously, SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, set a target to send a mission to Mars by the end of 2026.
For your information, Elon Musk has previously said various things, and finally postponed the plan. So, most likely, the postponement of the mission to Mars may not surprise many.
Through this change, SpaceX is targeting a landing on the Moon by March 2027. The mission will not carry astronauts. If all goes well, the next mission is expected to carry astronauts to land on the Moon.
In addition to the United States, Chinese companies are also actively targeting sending missions to the Moon, and have carried out several launches before. This may be one of the reasons why SpaceX is also focusing on missions to the Moon rather than paying attention to Mars.
