If we're talking about schedule slip: the schedule is a flyby of (not landing on) the moon in 2023 (not 2022). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DearMoon_project

It’s questionable if they’ll ever consider landing a Starship on the moon. It would require multiple orbital tankers to give it enough fuel (unless it was a one way trip). And there is no possibility of ever manufacturing metholox on the moon.

That article indicates a schedule slip on SpaceX's earlier moon plans from 2018, though.

That schedule change wasn't related to a schedule slip on starship, it was a decision to switch from a small mission (by number of people) using a falcon heavy and crew dragon to a bigger mission using starship.

It might have been related to the schedule slippage on crew dragon though, considering they are just now ready to fly astronauts on crew dragon.

I've never seen a timeline suggested for this rocket that included getting to orbit before 2020, the earliest rough timelines I can find (circa 2014) have initial test flights in 2020. That seems plausible (if tight) for orbital tests still, and if you count suborbital test flights actually happened ahead of schedule in 2019.

I don't think citing dates like that in a way that implies schedule slippage is fair.

They started on some next generation engine technology in 2012 that they hopped eventually will be used on some future spacecraft that could go to Mars. There was no plan, announcement, design or money to invest in building anything like Starship.

And they never claimed they will land on the moon by 2022. Maybe fly around the moon in 2023.

It's only half a year ago that they started to develop the prototype. In October last year, they switched to steel.

Maybe you mean October 2018?

You are right, we are in 2020 :D

October last year was the first presentation of the new design, a year before that was the presentation of the previous design, together with the "Dear Moon" mission.
