Although Musk previously shifted focus to the Moon, Wang Chun insists on Mars as the goal, hoping this mission will give SpaceX a reason to "not forget Mars" and prevent delaying the plan for the next generation; he said that while this move does not land on Phobos, it aims to prove to the public that Mars is a real, reachable, and round-trip destination.

Abstract generation in progress

Golden Finance reports that Wang Chun, co-founder of F2Pool, posted on the X platform explaining his decision to take the Starship for the first crewed mission to Mars. He stated that the debut of Starship V3 brings humanity one step closer to "multi-planetary survival." During Fram2 training, aside from content related to the Dragon spacecraft, one of the most discussed topics by the team was "how to reliably land and stay on Phobos."
Although three months ago Elon Musk announced that SpaceX would shift its focus more toward the Moon and believed that with the development of AI data centers, space commercialization might eventually find a viable path, the goal should be Mars, not the Moon. Currently, there is no certainty whether humanity can truly land on Mars within this generation's lifespan, so he hopes to personally push this process forward.
Wang Chun added that he hopes to give SpaceX a reason to "not forget Mars" by purchasing a flyby mission to Mars, emphasizing that "the Mars plan should not be postponed to the next generation." Although this mission will not attempt to land on Phobos, all great explorations begin with the first step. "I hope this mission can prove to the public that Mars is not just a bright spot in a telescope, but a real world that humans can reach and return from safely."
