Original title: Build 1,000 rockets, send 1 million people to Mars, Musk said that the fastest 5 years to achieve sending people to Mars
The dream of human beings landing on Mars may be realized in 5 years.
On the evening of December 29, Musk said in an interview that spaceX can send humans to Mars in the fastest 5 years and 10 years at the latest. It is believed that Starship is the most complex and advanced rocket ever built, and the fundamental optimization of Starship is to minimize the cost of each orbit entry.
There have been many different answers about when SpaceX will send humans to Mars. In March, Musk said SpaceX would land its Starship rocket on Mars by 2030. Previously, experts said that if SpaceX's progress is not smooth enough in the three remaining launch opportunities before 2026, it may take longer to land on Mars.
Musk's ultimate plan is to build 1,000 Starship rockets that launch 3 a day and eventually send 1 million people to Mars.
Meanwhile, SpaceX has raised $337.4 million through equity financing, and it was reported that in October this year, the company's valuation had reached $100 billion. So far, SpaceX has launched a large number of cargo payloads and astronauts for the United States to the International Space Station.
Today, the commercial rocket market is booming, and experts predict that the total value of the space economy could reach $1 trillion by 2040. Musk's SpaceX, Bezos' Blue Origin and Branson's Virgin Galactic have all managed to send civilians into space.
Humanity's space dream may really come true in the near future.
Musk himself has always targeted Mars, and even once crowned himself the title of "Emperor of Mars". According to the latest reports, Musk has made new remarks about Mars travel, saying that SpaceX will send humans to Mars in about 5 years at the earliest. He himself said in an interview: "The fastest 5 years, the latest 10 years (will send people to Mars). Musk also mentioned that the determining factors of this time include "rocket engineering." "Starship is the most complex and advanced rocket ever built," he said. Musk also said: "The fundamental optimization of Starship is to minimize the cost of each orbit entry.
Seeing this news, the first reaction is that Musk has no money and needs to fool a wave of leeks to enter. After all, he plans to build a fleet of 1,000 spacecraft, launching 3 a day and eventually sending 1 million people to Mars by 2050. The problem is that Mars cannot provide enough oxygen, water and food for hundreds of years, and the Martian base needs to rely on the Earth for a long time to provide survival. His words are happy, before he also said conclusively, in 2021 to achieve artificial brain-computer interface, not long from the United States in 2022, I don't know if I can fulfill the promise? In this way, Tesla's stock price is a bit hanging, and Musk is selling gimmicks 5-10 years later.
Musk engaged in several gimmicks, new energy vehicles, production and sales are like that, can make money, but the added value of manufacturing is limited. Speculate in coins, toss a round, the market is about to be tossed yellow by him. The moon landing is also about to be fried. Now all that's left is the path to Mars. If the concept can be hyped up, he will be able to tell the story for at least 5 to 10 years. If he could send a few people to Mars alive and survive for a while, the story would continue. If this story does not move and no one buys it, I am afraid that Musk will not be far from a big problem in the capital chain.
