Muilenburg Makes Bold Prediction About Mars

Says The First Rocket To Carry Humans To The Red Planet Will Be Built By Boeing

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg thinks the first humans to travel to Mars will go there on a spacecraft built by Boeing, despite ambitious plans by SpaceX to get there first.

Fortune online reports that Muilenburg made the prediction during an interview on CNBC last week. He said that it is his belief that the first person to set foot on Mars "will get there on a Boeing rocket."

Muilenburg said that the SLS rocket under development by Boeing for NASA is in the final assembly stages in New Orleans, with the first test flight scheduled for 2019. That mission will include sending an unmanned Orion spacecraft around the moon and return to Earth.

Muilenberg made a similar prediction at a tech conference last year.

Elon Musk, meanwhile, updated his plan to send mount a private manned mission to Mars last September at the International Astronautical Congress. Musk said that the SpaceX mission could launch humans to Mars by 2022.
