According to "Super Angle" reports, Musk recently visited the Xtakeover event and conducted a live interview with the host. When talking about SpaceX’s interstellar travel plans, Musk said,It may not happen in my lifetime, but it will eventually happen.Regarding the issue of immigrating to Mars, Musk believes that the specific governance method should be decided by Martians, but I don’t know yet.
Unless Mars is terraformed, we will not be able to live outdoors yet, and may have to live in a basement-like place in the early stages.
As for why it takes so much energy to implement the Mars plan, Musk explained:My idea is that 99% of the energy should indeed be focused on the earth, but maybe 1% can be used to become a space civilization and a multi-planetary species.
Because this involves a "defensive reason": if some kind of disaster comes to the earth and destroys human civilization - it may be World War III, or it may be a meteorite impact like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
We need to ensure that this “fire of consciousness” in humanity does not go out. So becoming a multi-planetary species is important to ensure the long-term survival of consciousness and all life on Earth.
In addition, there is another motivating reason for the Mars Project:Life can't just be about solving one thorny problem after another. You should be looking forward to the future - it's also important to wake up in the morning and think, "I'm really excited about what's going to happen today."
Everyone on Earth, just like the Apollo program - only a few people landed on the moon, but it inspired all of humanity. We were all indirectly "involved" in the moon landing, a great human achievement that inspired people around the world.
Therefore, even if you have never been there, you will be very inspired by understanding the nature of the universe and exploring the unknown. I think these are very important.
