Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK March 12, 2018 The privately-funded venture, announced in September 2017, aims to send a cargo mission to the Red Planet by 2022. SpaceX's ultimate objective is to plant the seeds to put a human colony on Mars. Musk announced that they are building the first Mars or interplanetary ship which will be able to short trips by first half of next year, joking about potentially missing the timeline. Musk admitted there is a “good chance” the first passengers his company sends to Mars will die. Would you be his first passenger to Mars? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Selva + 252 SP March 12, 2018 So first passengers would probably die. Hmm, I got a few of people on my mind for first passengers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Miraenda + 5 March 13, 2018 When does he, Elon Musk, plan on making the journey to Mars himself? That's the ship I want to be on, because that's the one he expects to make it there! 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice of him to acknowledge it. The way things are going on Earth I'm increasingly willing to consider risking it all on an early flight to Mars.
