Elon Musk is a businessman , investor and CEO, and CTO of SpaceX is planning to get a million people to planet Mars .
He said in a post on X “we are mapping out a game plan to get a million people to Mars”.
“Civilisation only passes the single-planet Great Filter when Mars can survive even if Earth supply ships stop coming,” he added.
He said this in response to a post that said “Starship is the largest rocket ever built and it’ll take us to Mars”.
“One day, a trip to Mars will be like a flight across the country,” replied Musk, to users who asked about the launch of Starship to the Red Planet.
Last week, the SpaceX founder said that the “Starship should be able to make it to the moon in less than 5 years”.
He noted that the SpaceX Dragon spaceship will take astronauts the furthest they’ve been from Earth in over half a century. Musk added that a lot of work will be required to live on Mars.
