US EditionMusk Says He Wants To Send Rocket To Mars Next Year, With Human Missions As Soon As 2029
- Elon Musk aims to send humans to Mars, potentially by 2031, with SpaceX planning to launch its Starship spacecraft to Mars as early as the end of 2026 carrying the Tesla-created humanoid robot, Optimus.
- Musk views sending humans to Mars as an existential necessity if life on Earth is jeopardized, with the ultimate goal of establishing a self-sustaining colony.
- Mars is considered ideal for exploration due to its Earth-like day length, ample sunlight, and proximity to Earth, though obstacles like icy temperatures and lack of water exist.
- Musk, who is worth an estimated $335 billion, intends to fund his Mars aspirations, stating his goal is to make it possible for anyone to travel to Mars if they desire.
- Despite a second explosion that Musk deemed a minor setback, his long-term vision includes a million people living on Mars by the 2040s, though he has a reputation for setting overly optimistic deadlines.
