Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, emphasized the company's goal to develop a fully and rapidly reusable orbital rocket, which he described as the "holy grail of rocketry" and essential for enabling humanity to become a multi-planet species. Musk acknowledged the engineering challenges involved, calling the creation of such a rocket one of the hardest problems in engineering. He expressed cautious optimism that SpaceX's Starship could achieve full reusability by 2026. Concurrently, Musk is working to expand Starship operations in Florida as part of preparations for a planned Mars launch in 2026. While the approach to developing reusable rockets is unprecedented and uncertain, Musk highlighted rapid reusability as a key factor in this effort.
