«The first spaceships destined for Mars will be launched in 2 years, when the next Earth-Mars transfer window opens. They will be unmanned to test the reliability of landing intact on Mars. If those landings go well, the first manned flights to Mars will happen in 4 years.” This was written in a post on X by Elon Musk. “The flight rate will grow exponentially, with the goal of building a self-sustaining city in about 20 years.” It will be necessary, he explains, to be multiplanetary, “since we will no longer have all our eggs, literally and metabolically, on one planet.”
