- ceejayoz 11y agoFor unmanned payloads - the only type SpaceX has flown thus far - that's been solved since the 1970s.
- Aelinsaar 11y agoI was thinking about Musk's planned 2018 manned mission.
- mikeash 11y agoIt's not manned.
- wagglycocks 11y agoI do not recall that announcement involved human cargo. I believe a more realistic goal was a large equipment drop.
- rtkwe 11y ago2018 isn't manned it's just tossing an unmanned Dragon variant at Mars and landing it. It's a technology demo and test mostly.
