NASA and Spacex is planning to develop A human colony on Mars
SpaceX is quietly planning Mars-landing missions with the help of NASA and other spaceflight experts. It's about time. SpaceX , founded by Elon Musk , is building a rocket-and-spaceship system to land people on Mars. Musk said he wants to launch the first humans to Mars in 2024, following an uncrewed mission in 2022. As Ars Technica reported , SpaceX held a private "Mars Workshop" with NASA and other experts to draft plans for its Mars landings. Experts say setting up a viable outpost, let alone a colony , on Mars is more daunting than Musk has let on.
