As far as I know SpaceX is designed to make space flight accessible to private citizens. This likely means getting into orbit, taking a few insta selfies with the earth it the background and getting back home safe.
Anything more ambitious than that? Likely won't happen.
Space red pills:
1) We will never make it to another planet
2)We are stuck on this planet forever
3) We will die on this planet when the sun burns out or we get hit by an asteroid
4) There is no one else in the universe.
Sorry bros.

brb a million people will gather to watch and all we'll hear about is how social distancing was not respected.
*Look at reflection in car window and flex every time crew*
*Use half the roll to wipe after a poo crew*
*Fart in the gym and blame rotten smell on faulty ventilation crew*
*Fart at home and blame it on the dog crew*
*Watch neutron-star density poop mock me as water flushes around it and it stays put crew*
*Drive 2 minutes in the summer and back of shirt gets completely wet crew*
*Coffee black as midnight on a moonless night crew*
*Fat shame my cat on a daily basis crew*

The lightning weather rule is now observed GO. The surface electric fields, attached anvil cloud, cumulus cloud and flight through precipitation rules remain NO GO at this time.
05/27/2020 15:18
SpaceX's chief engineer is preparing for a poll soon to assess the team's readiness to arm the Dragon's launch escape system and load propellants into the Falcon 9 rocket.

T-minus 70 minutes. Here are some statistics on today's launch:
85th launch of a Falcon 9 rocket since 2010
93rd launch of Falcon rocket family since 2006
1st launch of Falcon 9 booster B1058
73rd Falcon launch from Cape Canaveral
116th launch from pad 39A
22nd SpaceX launch from pad 39A
2nd launch of a Crew Dragon spacecraft
1st Falcon 9/Crew Dragon flight with humans on-board
8th Falcon 9 launch of 2020
8th launch by SpaceX in 2020
10th orbital launch based out of Cape Canaveral in 2020
05/27/2020 15:25
The SpaceX closeout crew has departed the pad 39A hazard area as the Falcon 9 countdown nears a critical decision point on whether to fuel the rocket with super-chilled propellants.
Weather may be no-go for launch time of 4:33. After 5:30-ish pm the weather will likely clear up there according to short-term modeling, but launch has to be at 4:33 or not at all today.
