After Mars, SpaceX founder envisions planet-hopping

SpaceX founder Elon Musk mused during a 2023 International Astronautical Congress talk (https://youtu.be/pm7TyQs5Adc?si=zqyfJBiENbg8JA0w) that after creating a Marsbase, his expanding flotillas of Starships will begin exploring the outer sectors of the solar system via planet-hopping, sending robotic crews in advance of astronauts to set up way stations on the ocean moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and then "ultimately all the way out into the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud."
