Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX and CEO of Tesla, recently made a bold prediction about the future of human habitation on Mars. He confidently stated on Twitter that a human city on Mars could become a reality within the next 30 years. Musk outlined a timeline for this ambitious endeavor, including an uncrewed mission to Mars in less than five years, landing humans on the planet in less than a decade, and potentially establishing a city on Mars within 20 years, with certainty within 30 years.
Some users expressed excitement about the potential of a Mars city, while others pointed out Musk’s history of presenting unrealistic timelines. SpaceX, the company Musk founded in 2002, has achieved significant milestones in space travel, but has yet to take humans beyond low-Earth orbit.
Musk’s ambitions for Mars date back to 2001 with the development of Mars Oasis, a project aimed at landing a greenhouse on the planet. He emphasized that SpaceX’s mission is to “extend consciousness to Mars and then the stars.”
