Elon Musk's tunneling project may just be an exercise for the mission to settle on Mars

Digging a tunnel on Earth can only be a rehearsal for the billionaire Elon Musk's mission to settle on Mars.

The Boring Company of billionaire Elon Musk was set up to fulfill a noble mission, which is to solve the problem of transportation in Los Angeles. The measure Elon Musk offers is to dig huge tunnels beneath the ground , so that transports can be brought down to move in these tunnels when there is a traffic jam.

It sounds crazy, but recently Boring's giant roadheader has begun to operate. But Elon Musk's ambition doesn't stop there, because these underground tunnels are just a test of a bigger mission.

Musk said: "The tunneling will be very useful in the Mars mission".

Bring people settled on Mars.

At the International Space Station Research and Development Conference in Washington DC, billionaire Elon Musk spent most of his time talking about SpaceX's future missions and his ambitions to bring people to Mars.

When asked about the real purpose of Boring Company, Elon Musk replied: 'I think tunneling will be very useful in Mars. There will certainly be a lot of difference between digging tunnels on Earth and digging tunnels on Mars, but we are conducting tests and may adjust them accordingly. On Mars there will certainly be many metal mines that we can exploit. '

'After digging for tunnels and metal mining, we can continue the 2nd step. It's to build an underground living environment , we can build a city under the surface of Mars. . An underground city can help avoid harsh weather conditions and radiation from the universe. '

Although it is not confirmed that the Boring Company project is a premise for building an underground city on Mars. But that idea is coming to our eyes and it's perfectly reasonable. Whether building an underground city with current technology sounds like a fantasy story.

Continuing with the theme of Mars, Elon Musk said: 'The journey to Mars is definitely not for the faint of heart. It is a risky decision, you can die for a lot of reasons, you may be exposed to radiation. So do you want to go to Mars? '
