Honestly, this is the most reasonable timeframe I’ve seen Elon say publicly about Starship. Still ambitious, but a reasonable target, at least for refueling. Just hoping we see a catch attempt this year 🤞
Elon Musk@elonmusk· Apr 26, 2024@SciGuySpace Full & rapid reusability of booster & ship and orbital refilling of ship are the 2 fundamental technologies we aim to solve by the end of next year.
Those are the critical pieces necessary to make life multiplanetary.

A booster catch attempt is highly likely this year.
For the ship, we need to be sure that it will survive reentry and retain aero control authority, so that means at least 2 successes landing at a precise point in the ocean.
