Elon Musk has made plans to colony Mars . A manned mission from its spacecraft SpaceX to the red planet is scheduled for 2024.
The first unmanned mission to Mars must even take place in four years, in 2022. Next year construction has to begin.
The big dream of the SpaceX and Tesla boss is to establish a permanent colony on that planet 225 million kilometers away. All arrows are therefore aimed at developing the right rocket, which is called the BFR (Big Fucking Rocket)
But to push costs, SpaceX now focuses on a single narrower and smaller variant. "We want to use one system. If we get that together, all means can be applied to this one system, "says Musk." I'm pretty sure we can finish this space ship in five years and launch. "
