Musk has been pondering traveling to the Red Planet and colonizing it for years. SpaceX still has plans for two cargo missions to Mars in 2022.
He also wants SpaceX’s Mars city to be more than an outpost for astronauts. Hos plan is to build a Starship rocket and send humans to Mars as early as 2024. Once on Mars, SpaceX would establish basic life support systems.
Musk previously suggested a colony planet that would become the hub of an “Interplanetary Transportation System” to enable humans to become a multi-planet species in the new decade.
