JAKARTA - SpaceX is back with its ambition, the space company owned by Elon Musk wants to make spacecraft on Mars and the Moon. No kidding, SpaceX even opens vacancies for offshore workers in space.

Reporting from TechCrunch, SpaceX intends to expand its business to undertake civilian space travel. This time through its official website, the company owned by Elon Musk is even looking for technicians and engineers to build a rocket launch facility.

"SpaceX is building a super-class floating spacecraft for (missions) Mars, the Moon & hypersonic travel around the Earth," wrote SpaceX on its Twitter page, Thursday, June 18.

The construction of this rocket facility is intended as a landing or launch point for future modes of transportation. Both those departing from Earth to the Moon and Mars and vice versa.

SpaceX has been planning to build a spaceport or launch pad since 2017. At least after the animated video of Starship Musk depicting the traffic of a duo rocket-spacecraft launched from an offshore runway.

Earlier this month, Musk also tweeted that SpaceX is considering three launches for its first Starship mission from Florida's Space Coast, a facility in South Texas, near the village of Boca Chica, where the Starship prototype is currently being built and tested.

This crazy Musk idea needs to be appreciated and no joke, as we all know, SpaceX recruits special people to perfect its ambition.

Musk also revealed some new details about his ambition to send civil society into space. For example, if Starship passengers were to be carried by them via Hyperloop, would the idea of a vacuum-pod transport that Musk proposed in 2012 exist? The billionaire entrepreneur simply replied, "Quite a few."

The Grimers singer pair also said later, "we have to be far enough away so as not to disturb the densely populated areas. The launching & landing is not smooth. But you can reach a few miles from a spaceport on a ship," Musk said.
