Elon Musk’s bold vision: Mars as humanity’s insurance policy
In a conversation with "Fox News," Elon Musk revealed that his goal is to protect humanity from annihilation by enabling its expansion to Mars. The advisor to Donald Trump and the richest person in the world believes that the key to civilization's survival is the colonisation of the Red Planet.
Musk shocked the reporter from "Fox News" when he started talking about his vision of colonising Mars. According to the owner of Tesla, "Mars is life insurance for life collectively."
"So, eventually, all life on Earth will be destroyed by the Sun. The Sun is gradually expanding, and so we do at some point need to be a multi-planet civilization because Earth will be incinerated," Elon Musk began to explain, which surprised the journalist.
The billionaire believes he can help guarantee the survival of our civilization. His mission goes beyond simply planting flags on Mars; it involves relocating humanity to the Red Planet as a long-term solution for its preservation.
At the same time, Elon Musk dismisses the arguments of scientists that the Sun will deplete its energy and may engulf Earth in about 5 billion years. The world’s richest person insists that he must take action immediately.
The owner of Tesla and advisor to Donald Trump stated that, within his lifetime, he must ensure that life on Mars becomes self-sustaining, describing this mission as the core purpose of his destiny.
How does Elon Musk envision the colonisation of Mars? In the opinion of the billionaire, his vision will come true when there is no need to bring supply ships from Earth.
Journalists from the "Daily Mail" comment on Elon Musk's words with a hint of irony. They point out that Donald Trump cut NASA's space programme funding, including those related to Mars, by $6 billion (€5.3 billion), which will certainly "make Musk's path to his goal easier."
