SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk plans to have people living on Mars within decades.
During a presentation earlier today, titled Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species, Musk outlined SpaceX's plan to accomplish the long-dreamed-of feat of colonizing Mars. The company's first manned mission will use its Interplanetary Transport System, which it test fired yesterday, to send 100 people on an 80-day trip to the Red Planet.
Those who first arrive on Mars will be tasked with learning to grow resources on the planet's notoriously harsh surface, as well as harvesting materials to create the fuel needed for the return mission. However, the first group shouldn't expect to utilize that fuel, as Musk said "the risk of fatality will be very high" for those on the first journeys. Candidates should be "prepared to die," he added.
