"For those who don't know, SpaceX has shifted its focus to building a self-growing city on the moon," Musk posted on
SpaceX's mission remains the same: to expand consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
A journey to Mars is only possible if the planets align every 26 months (a journey takes 6 months), whereas we can send a spacecraft to the Moon every 10 days (a journey takes 2 days). This means we can build a lunar city much faster than a Martian city.
Having said that, SpaceX will also be working to build a Martian city and plans to start implementing this in about 5 to 7 years, but the first priority is to ensure the future of human civilization, and the moon is faster. "
