Responding to a post by an account called Tesla Owners Silicon Valley on X (formerly Twitter), billionaire Elon Musk outlined a plan to send 1 million people to Mars, while emphasizing the importance of creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.

Billionaire Elon Musk expressed his deep commitment to his Mars ambition in another online exchange, even in family life. Responding to a post featuring him and his son, Elon Musk reflected on the joys of parenthood, then moved on to talk about Mars, demonstrating his deep dedication to this monumental project.

However, this ambitious Mars project also has its challenges and delays. Initially, Musk’s goal was to send humans to Mars within a decade. But in 2022, Mr. Musk revealed that the deadline had been pushed back. 2029 is currently considered the earliest possible date for humans to reach the Red Planet.

When asked about the timeline for sending the first crew to Mars before 2030, Musk said efforts are in the early stages. He emphasized that the top priority is achieving reliability and reusability of Starship spacecraft.

The deadline for reaching Mars that Elon Musk adjusted is consistent with NASA’s ambition to explore Mars. If Musk’s project lasts until 2030, it could coincide with NASA’s plan to send the first astronauts to Mars. This signals a potential convergence on the journey to discover extraterrestrial life.
