Today I would like to share something important with you !
Let's talk about the new big project of this century wich is to land on Mars for the first time of humanity history.
You're a lot to know Elon musk through the famous brand of cars Tesla. But Tesla is only 1 of the big amouts of projects Elon want to accomplish during his time on earth ! I admire Elon musk because he decided to use his time and his money to make humanity better instead of build a Trump tower with all gold he can find.
We won't talk about Tesla today but Space X wich is the second big project of Elon Musk.
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., doing business as SpaceX, is a private American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars.[8] SpaceX has since developed the Falcon launch vehicle family and the Dragon spacecraft family, which both currently deliver payloads into Earth orbit.

Elon was the first to retrieve cargo by making land it. The cargo is the tank of fuel we use to pull the rocket from the terrestrial gravity. Until Elon musk the cargo was destroyed... With this process Elon make a rocketlunch 80% cheeper than before.
“You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great - and that's what being a spacefaring civilization is all about. It's about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I can't think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars.”
— ELON MUSK, CEO AND LEAD DESIGNER, SPACEX
Here is the talk about Space x Mars mission !
To accomplish this travel from Earth to Mars we will need 10 of our best astronautes (they're actually preparing themself for this epic journey, it's so brave and we should all think about !) and of course we'll need a strong spaceship. That's why yesterday (February 6th) Spacex tried to lunch our new baby which is the FALCON HEAVY (strong name).
I made this post to share with you this epic win of Elon musk ! He lifted the Falcon heavy :) It's a huge step for all human kind and I wanted to share it with you guys cause this rocket is our futur !
