SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years, Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk said in a post on social media platform X on Sunday.

"If those all land safely, then crewed missions are possible in four years," he said, adding that in case of any challenges the crewed missions will be postponed another two years.

"No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity," the SpaceX founder said.

Musk mentioned the launch of the uncrewed Starships to Mars earlier this month in a post on X, saying "first Starships to Mars will launch in 2 years when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens."

The Saudi Falcons Club has achieved a major environmental milestone by raising the number of endangered Lanner Falcon (Falco biarmicus) breeding pairs, known locally as Wakri, from two to 14 through its flagship conservation initiative, the Program to Return Falcons to their Original Habitat (Hadad).

Club spokesman Walid Al-Taweel stated that the Wakri falcon is one of the Kingdom’s rarest and most endangered native species.

He emphasized that the club has implemented a comprehensive scientific strategy to enhance biodiversity, restore ecological balance, and preserve the rich heritage of falconry, aligned with the environmental sustainability goals of Saudi Vision 2030, SPA reported.

Al-Taweel added that the club aims to become a national leader in conserving rare falcons by adopting advanced practices rooted in global standards. It also seeks to engage the local community in falcon rewilding efforts and in reviving their natural habitats, thereby supporting the natural breeding process within the species’ indigenous environments.

The Saudi Falcons Club continues to launch pioneering initiatives that preserve the cultural legacy of falconry, ensure its transmission to future generations, and raise public awareness about the importance of protecting and sustaining rare species as part of the broader goal of achieving environmental balance.
