As we all know, Tesla and Space X founder Elon Musk has been obsessed with landing on Mars, a few days ago, fans asked online, "When do you think it is possible for humans to land on Mars?" Musk replied affirmatively: "It will be achieved in 2029."
Last month, Musk released a 5-minute virtual video sharing his own Mars expedition for the first time, accompanied by the text: "This will become a reality in our lifetime, but it may be faster than imagined." In simulated experiments in virtual reality, astronauts boarded the spacecraft and eventually landed on Mars. Through computer simulations, human settlements can be seen on the Red Planet.
Musk founded Space X in 2002 with dreams of building reusable rockets, commercial spacecraft, and cross-era space technology. Since the company's inception, Musk's dreams have included eventually traveling to Mars via a starship, which also carries more than 100 people each.
According to Musk's vision, Starship is similar to today's passenger aircraft, can be reused, and the appearance should be similar to that of an airplane. In September 2020, Musk said at the "Human Landing on Mars" conference that many tests are still needed before the spacecraft is officially launched.
Musk added: "We first have to get the spacecraft to work, completing hundreds of other experimental missions before carrying people." The real technical bottleneck is the production system, after all, the construction of spacecraft also requires other productivity. In my opinion, the landing of humans on Mars is not a fundamental problem, but more importantly, it is more important to build a base after going up and building a self-sufficient city on Mars. Initially, Space X hoped to land on Mars in 2024, but Musk pushed that expectation to 2029, saying the company was "very confident" it could land on Mars "in about 6 years."
