摘要

A fat, red sun sank into the Texas horizon as Elon Musk bounded toward a silvery spaceship. Reaching its concrete landing pad, Musk marveled up at the stainless steel, steampunk contraption looming above, which shone brilliantly in the dying light. "It's like something out of a Mad Max movie," he gushed about the first prototype of his Mars rocket, nicknamed Starhopper. Musk traveled to his South Texas rocket factory in mid-September 2019 to track progress of SpaceX's Starship vehicle, the culmination of nearly two decades of effort to move humans from Earth to Mars. Weeks earlier, Starhopper soared into the clear skies above the coastal scrubland, located just this side of the Mexico border. And then, it very nearly crashed. Luckily, the Federal Aviation Administration had restricted the flight's maximum altitude to five hundred feet, so when engineers lost control during Starhopper's descent its landing legs merely crushed through the pad's steel-reinforced concrete, rather than erupting into a ball of flame. Musk laughed at this thought. For much of SpaceX's lifetime he has fought against regulators, always seeking to go faster, to push higher. "This time," he quipped, "the FAA saved us."
