Elon Musk has published an article with the ambition: to bring 1 million people to Mars
Last September, Elon Musk confidently stepped up to the podium, talking about a future where people would conquer Mars with his help, in particular the space company SpaceX.
There are many reasons (and many questions) that make this Musk presentation so bold. First, this is an ambitious, crazy plan:
Musk wants to put a million people on the Red Planet, for about 100,000 to 200,000 dollars per person. Second, his presentation took place shortly after the SpaceX rocket broke up on the launch pad.
Just recently, Musk just wrote a new report, emphasizing the most important points in his Mars plan. Simply put, this is the latest version of the Mars project from SpaceX, drafted by Elon Musk.
Musk describes the use of recycled rockets to reduce costs to Mars by a few thousand times.
This article was published in this June in New Space magazine. In it, Musk describes the use of recycled rockets to reduce costs to several thousand times. Besides, the article also has a model of a giant spaceship he is expected to build to bring people to Mars.
Although this plan is not new, there have been many incidents since Elon Musk stepped up to present the plan to turn people into trans-planet species late last year.
First of all, Musk held an AMA session - Ask Me Anything - Ask me Anything on the Reddit forum. He outlined a four-step Mars settlement plan, explaining how the company will create fuel and air right on the distant planet.
By the way, it was revealed that Musk wanted to name the main ship Heart of Gold , based on the famous book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
In a speech last year, Musk also mentioned a huge fuel chamber for his plan to conquer Mars. The container was made entirely of carbon fiber and, as he said, it passed a pressure test of pressure in November.
Fuel tank of Falcon Heavy.
There is good news and also bad news: Falcon 9 unmanned rocket exploded on the launch pad, the investigation officially ended in January this year and also in January, SpaceX continued to launch spacecraft - no event interrupted their ambition to reach the sky.
And they are recruiting more people to serve that dream. Last March, SpaceX added 473 positions and by the time this article of Business Insider was published, that number was 487.
They are preparing to launch the largest system trajectory ever made: the giant Falcon Heavy rocket. According to Musk on Twitter, we can see the launch of Falcon Heavy this September.
If all goes well, the Falcon Heavy will take two passengers (have to buy tickets) flying around the Moon in 2018.
