“It will take less than 10 years to send humans to Mars, Martian cities will be built within 20 years, and civilization will be established within 30 years.”
The New York Times reported on the 11th (local time) that Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has been working toward the goal of reaching Mars for over 20 years, is recently establishing a specific ‘Mars colonization plan’ through his rocket company, SpaceX.
According to the New York Times, SpaceX employees are researching dome-shaped habitats and spacesuits to be built on Mars, as well as methods for “human reproduction” in space. SpaceX has already created several detailed schematics for this. It also includes plans to use SpaceX’s rockets like Noah’s Ark to transport plants and animals, and to build greenhouses on Mars to grow food. In particular, Musk is said to have donated sperm to help spread his “seeds” and establish his “species” in a Martian colony.
The New York Times analyzed that the six companies that Musk is running across various fields are actually the result of his ‘obsession’ with conquering Mars. The Boring Company, a tunneling company, was created to prepare equipment to dig beneath the surface of Mars, X (formerly Twitter) was created to test how a citizen-led government would work on Mars, and the Tesla Cybertruck made of steel panels was created with the idea of a vehicle for Martians. SpaceX is also a company that he created himself in 2002 after being rejected when trying to buy a rocket from Russia for his dream of going to Mars.
Musk is said to have been fascinated by Mars after reading Isaac Asimov’s 1951 science fiction novel “Foundation” when he was 10 years old. The book’s protagonist establishes colonies across the galaxy to save humanity.
This idea seems absurd to most people, but he has actually created results such as rockets and electric cars. It is said that a significant number of SpaceX’s 12,000 employees also believe in life on other planets. The New York Times reported that “he recently told employees that there will be a million people living on Mars in about 20 years.”
