The head of the company SpaceX Elon Musk outlined his plan to colonize Mars for the scientific community.
Musk noted that with current technology, the ticket to Mars will cost about $10 billion. The billionaire’s mission is to reduce the price to $200 thousand.
Elon Musk believes that the key to reduce prices lies in the development of a new, easy and cheap form of fuel for space ships that will ply between the planets. Missile fuel on the way back it is supposed to produce on Mars. According to Mask, the best for this purpose, suitable methane.
Musk is convinced that humanity will be able to see the first tourist flight to Mars in 2023. But first the Dragon 2 will go to Mars in two years.
According to journalists, the statement, the Mask is more of a presentation rather than serious analysis indicating the exact time frame of the colonization of Mars. However, it allows us to look at the immediate prospects for SpaceX.
“In my opinion, publication of these data provides not only an opportunity for the space community to get acquainted with the detailed vision of SpaceX in the context, but also serve as a valuable archival reference for future research,” said Scott Hubbard, editor of the journal New Space.
