In an interview with CNBC, Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg said that Boeing is in the final assembly stages of building a rocket called the Space Launch System with NASA, and that the company will be the first to bring humans to Mars.
Boeing expects to have the system ready for a test flight in 2019.
“Eventually we are going to go to Mars, and I firmly believe that the first person that sets foot on Mars will get there in a Boeing rocket,” he said.
