Elon Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX, has just published an article entitled "Making Humans a Multiplanetary Species" at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC), held in the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, ), And for the first time detailed announcement of the entire process of landing Mars and related technical details.
At the beginning of the speech, Musk once again uttered his famous theory: "We can colonise to other planets, and we can wait for the extinction on Earth." The human beings on earth can not avoid the extinction of the results, only the time. "He added, Hoping to send mankind to Mars in 10 years, the colonial goal is to send at least more than one million people.
In addition, because Mars and the Earth's distance is close, the environment is also similar; plus other planets are not good conditions, such as Venus environment is high and high pressure, the moon is too small, Saturn and Jupiter too far, so Mars is the highest chance of success s Choice.

In this concept, the Interplanetary Transport System (ITS) is a very important part; it includes a propeller that can be reused on Falcon 9, which is about 12 meters in diameter and about 122 meters in diameter.
As for the cost problem, the current conditions to calculate, a Mars fare of about 10 billion US dollars; and SpaceX's goal is to reduce this number to a house price, about 200,000 US dollars.
Musk believes that prices will become cheaper in the future. If the spacecraft can be reused or completed on the track fuel supplement, even in the manufacture of propellers on Mars, can significantly reduce transportation costs. Coupled with advances in technology, spacecraft can take more people, thereby further reducing costs.
He said: "It is not much for me to make money because it is the sole purpose of making mankind a multi-planetary species my accumulated wealth."
There is the dream of Elon Musk! what do you think?
