What will the colonization of Mars bring to humanity? Elon Musk expressed an opinion.

Elon Musk: Mars is 'insurance for the survival' of humanity

SpaceX founder Elon Musk emphasized that the colonization of Mars is crucial for preserving collective life on Earth. He noted that the increasing solar activity will lead to the destruction of all life on the planet, thus establishing a civilization on other planets is a necessity. Musk also stated the possibility of landing a human on Mars as early as 2029.

“Mars is insurance for our collective survival. Eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the sun. The sun is gradually expanding, and at some point, we really need to become a multiplanetary civilization because Earth will be scorched,”

It was reported that initially The Wall Street Journal informed that Musk is working on improvements in NASA's programs and funding. These funds are planned to be used for studying Mars and further colonizing the planet.

Starbase city created, New Shepard vehicle returned to Earth

Additionally, Elon Musk's company SpaceX officially established the city of Starbase in Texas, where the rocket base is located. It is also worth noting that the crew of the tourist rocket New Shepard successfully returned to Earth after a space flight, which included American singer Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez, the fiancée of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos.

During his speech, Musk emphasized the importance of humanity's expansion to other planets for the survival of the human race as a whole.
