SpaceX enters natural gas sector for Mars missions

SpaceX plans to build a 13-kilometer natural gas pipeline in Texas to supply its Starship rockets with fuel more quickly and efficiently, supporting its goal of accelerating rocket launches and achieving future objectives in lunar and Mars exploration. This project is part of the company's strategy to have full control over its supply chain, as SpaceX is also considering extracting natural gas itself and establishing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility at Starbase. The company is overestimating fuel consumption, with expectations of significantly expanding its operations, in line with a plan to launch hundreds, if not thousands, of missions annually.
