Transporting people to Mars has been Musk’s dream and the core mission of SpaceX for years.

Elon Musk declared that “the important thing is that we build a self-sustaining city on Mars as quickly as possible.”

He said, “The key threshold is when that city can continue to grow, continue to prosper, even when the supply ships from Earth stop coming at that point, even if something would happen on Earth. It might not be World War III – civilisation could die with a bang or a whimper.”

Despite stating “Mars is a hostile environment, it sometimes gets above zero on a warm summer day near the equator on Mars,” Musk is firm on bringing humankind to the planet as soon as he can.
