Once the first Starships 🚀 reach #Mars, the job of setting up camp for human #astronauts will fall to #Optimus. The bipedal #humanoids 🤖 are to install power plants and other infrastructure, as well as scout for resources such as water ice.

Given #Starship’s touted 100-metric-ton payload capacity, Zubrin believes that SpaceX could deliver an army of #rovers 🛞 and rotorcraft 🚁. Experts agree that some form of #robotic automation will be essential https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/aiaa-spacex/
