This is CBS by In The World. Bob Zimmerman keeps the website behind the black. We spend

a much time talking about the travails of the rich man on the solar system, Mr. Muskin

his starship. But there is a goal here, and that's Mars. Bob, we're on Mars, and what

do we know about the landing site?

Yes, this is another one of the stories that I broke. Just as I predicted, they would

not get their launch office starships to Babie as planned because the regulatory problems

I also was one who broke the story of where starship was, where SpaceX was planning

for land starship on Mars. And I've got another post on behind the black. This I posted

a cool image of some of the territory very close to that landing site on Mars. It's

in the northern, low land plains. SpaceX chose this area because it's relatively flat.

It makes for a large margin of error when you're landing for the first time. It's also a

place where there's a lot of neosurface ice. One scientist said that you could literally

stick a shovel in the ground, and you hit ice in this location. And all data shows that.

And so I posted an image very close to this location, or even 25 miles away, a way everything

you look at is ice. And it's very clearly ice. You see a lot of depressions. We would

look like corroding glaciers. And you've got the surface above those depressions. It would

look like it's corroding snow late early spring when the first warm temperatures arrive.

And this is why SpaceX showed this location because there will be lots of available water

here. And that's the good thing, John. And what does the mission look like, Bob? They're

going to touch down, scoop up dirt, and come back.

Well, Starship goes to the Mars. Their plan is much more ambitious, according to Musk.

His plan is to send multiple ships there, some to bring supplies for later manned missions.
