Mars is a world similar in a lot of ways to our own. That doesn't mean there aren't a multitude of hurdles to overcome if we were ever to consider settling there.

In September 2016, Musk indicated that the full construction of SpaceX residential buildings on Mars would likely be funded by public and private funds. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk advocates for a much broader set of longterm Mars settlement goals — ones that use these lower transportation costs to go well beyond what SpaceX will build. "Build a city on Mars to become a space civilization, a multiplanet species,” said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk.

In 2007, before SpaceX even sent its first rocket into orbit, Musk told Wired that 30 years from now, bases would be established on the moon and the red planet. A topic that Elon Musk often brings up is that an endoflife event on Earth could mean the end of humanity, but if humanity can build its foundations on a new planet like the Red Planet, humanity can survive. SpaceX has an ambitious goal of landing the first humans on Mars by 2024, but in October 2020, Elon Musk named 2024 the goal of an unmanned mission.

In March 2019, Elon Musk tweeted that it could be possible to have a selfsustaining city on Mars by 2050 if SpaceX launches in 5 years and requires 10 orbital syncs. 22 years at least to build a city. If Musk's predictions are correct — he's known for offering overly ambitious timelines — SpaceX's first Martian mission will launch the same year that NASA astronauts return to the moon as part of the Artemis program. Since SpaceX has yet to conduct SpaceX's first orbital flight with the upcoming Starship, it is unlikely that it will send the first cargo ships in 2050. SpaceX will then send four spacecraft to the next closest approach, two manned spacecraft and two cargo spacecraft in 2024.

His first rocket will allow SpaceX to send people and cargo to the Red Planet. The mission will be launched to Mars on the SpaceX South Texas spacecraft. SpaceX is almost ready to start building a permanent human settlement on Mars with the SpaceX spacecraft. The nextgeneration Starship spacecraft is a massive stainless steel rocket that SpaceX has built and tested at the company's launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, near Brownsville.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk previously estimated that full development of the nextgeneration Starship would cost about $5 billion, although SpaceX has not disclosed how much SpaceX has spent so far on the program. SpaceX launched two prototype spacecraft test flights, named SN5 and SN6.

SpaceX is on track to launch its first uncrewed mission to Mars in just four years, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said at the International Mars Society conference. Since the SpaceX spacecraft is also reusable, Elon Musk plans to refuel in lowEarth orbit before returning to the surface of Mars to return to Earth. Its first rocket used liquid oxygen and methane as fuel instead of the rocket fuel used by the Falcon 9, meaning researchers could fly to the red planet, refuel with resources on Earth, and return to Earth.
