SpaceX Starship V4 tanker should be ready in 2027 which should reduce the number of tanker refills for lunar missions down to 5 or 6. IF 1200 to 1400 flights out of 10,000 per year were used for lunar missions or refuelings, then this would enable 200 full lunar missions
Elon Musk@elonmusk· 9 févr. 2026@aakashgupta Starship V4 Tanker version will deliver >200 tons of propellant per flight, so more like 5 or 6 tanker flights to refill the lunar transit Starship in orbit.
Shouldn’t be too much of a problem if we’re doing >10k flights/year.
