Addressing ongoing space travel ambitions, Musk notes that with optimal planetary alignment, humans could send rockets to Mars every two years. His ultimate goal is to "make life multiplanetary," which he believes is essential for the long-term survival of civilization given Earth's vulnerability to natural or man-made extinction events. He points out that Mars once had oceans and could potentially support life if warmed up, illustrating the journey toward creating a second home for humans.
He stresses that pursuing this expansion is not just about exploration but about preserving human consciousness—arguably the most vital endeavor for our civilization’s future.
