The SpaceX and Tesla CEO has said there is a '70% chance' he would move to Mars.
Leave it to Elon Musk to think of putting life on other planets before we've even gone back to the moon.
Musk said the capability of SpaceX's Starship rockets is "designed to make life multiplanetary," before eventually building a city on Mars.

Biggest unanswered question in the space industry in the next decade is what the hell to do with this capability. It’s utterly transformative. https://t.co/PnuHSFJbNZ

That sounds like an incredible experience! SpaceX has had many historic moments, and one of the most notable was the first successful landing of a Falcon 9 rocket booster on land. This happened on December 21, 2015, at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. The Falcon 9 delivered 11 communications satellites into orbit and then made a controlled, powered touchdown at Landing Zone.
More recently, SpaceX marked its 300th successful Falcon 9 flight on February 20, 2024. These milestones are significant steps towards making space travel more sustainable and cost-effective.
