    This is amazing it reminds me of the Moon Landing in July 1969, I was 11 and my brother was 6 and our Mum and Dad let us stay up really late to watch the landing on tv.
    We lived on an army Barracks in London, my Dad was in the army and we were about to go on a posting to Beligium.
    It was so amazing to watch a once in a life time thing, no one can ever be the first to land on the moon. It was like something out of a comic or Syfi film.
    This test was something else the precision was brilliant.

    Keep in mind the sheer size of this rocket. It can theoretically take 100 people to space at a single time. The rocket combo (starship + booster) is larger than the Saturn V rocket that took people to the moon. This isn't a Falcon 9, folks.

      Assuming your not terminally Ill I would say that is highly likely assuming the government doesn't get in the way. If Trump is elected unmanned ships attempting to land on mars are definitely in the cards during his administration. Same with a moon landing... again assuming government aids or at least doesn't impread them.
      Sadly mars is so far away that testing and planning and the journey take a while so manned will take a while.
