One million people will live on Mars, according to Elon Musk’s plan. Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, has unveiled a bold plan to establish a human colony on Mars in the coming years. One million people are to be transported to Mars, according to Elon Musk, who declared on social media on Sunday. He claimed that civilization will only cross the Great Filter and reach Mars when it can endure without Earthly supplies arriving.
He made these remarks in response to a post detailing the capabilities of SpaceX’s Starship rocket, which Musk asserts will be crucial to realizing his aspirations for Mars. He tweeted, “A journey to Mars will one day be like a flight across the country.”
Musk is not alone in having grandiose visions of Mars. The tech tycoon has long expressed his desire to see humanity become “multi-planetary,” frequently referring to a human colony on Mars as a safeguard against the collapse of civilization. But based on his most recent remarks, it appears that SpaceX is working hard to make this vision a reality in the coming years.
Musk said just last week that Starship could travel to the moon in five years. He added that astronauts will travel farther into space with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule than they have in more than 50 years. Musk acknowledges that creating a self-sustaining civilization on Mars will need a great deal of work and creativity, despite its ambitious goals.
He has previously talked about his intentions to build a long-term Moon base. Musk tweeted back in December, saying, “Humanity should have a moon base, cities on Mars, and be out there among the stars.”
Musk is well-known for his ambitious schedules, but his businesses have accomplished significant feats that were previously unthinkable, such as reusable orbital rockets. Nevertheless, the Mars vision has enormous technical obstacles.
Recent Starship test flight ended in a fiery crash, demonstrating how slowly progress is still being made. Musk anticipates that the vehicle’s capabilities will be demonstrated when the third test of the year reaches orbit.
