Of course, the Falcon Heavy is not ready to carry

Of course, the Falcon Heavy is not ready to carry humans anywhere else, but it is definitely a major step forward for the company, which has been building a series of spacecrafts since 2010.

What does this mean for SpaceX, which has been pushing the envelope in technology development for years? In many ways, it means that with the first manned mission of its kind in space, the company's mission may soon get a little more ambitious. As the US Department of Defense's inspector general explained at the time, the Russian space agency's plans to launch a series of satellites into orbit in 2017 and take them back to Earth "were already ambitious."

The Russian plan was to land a small satellite at its home in the Pacific Ocean in mid-2018 (which would be about four to five months after the mission took place). In an interview with The New York Times, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said, "The goal is to have a very large (launch vehicle) capable of landing on the surface of Mars, and that's what's been achieved." However, the first satellite and the second would be too far apart for the first spacecraft to navigate, so the U.S. would have to launch the vehicle from its home base in the Baltic Sea.

In the end, the Russian plan is to fly a Russian-made Falcon Heavy rocket into orbit in the late 2020s. But the new rocket will be different. "This new vehicle has been designed at the same time as [the Falcon Heavy's] rocket," said Musk. "And it's much smaller and much more efficient than the Falcon Heavy."

The next stage of the SpaceX saga will be to go after the US government. In July 2017, Trump signed an executive order limiting the use of military force against the United States. In July 2017, the Trump administration took action against the US Cyber Command, which oversees military cyber operations. In November 2017, the US Department of Defense announced that it was banning cyber warfare against the United States. The Pentagon is also conducting an audit of the cyber operations at the Department of Defense.

As the US military and defense establishment work to build more robust security around the world, the idea of deploying military forces to Mars is one that may become a reality. However, it is also one that the technology that could enable humans to travel to Mars is largely unknown. The International Space Station, for example, has an onboard computer that can work at the moment in the same way that a computer running on a personal computer can. And as of late,
