THE AUDACITY OF THE MARS COLONIZATION VISION Colleague Eric Berger. In September 2016, Elon Musk presented a vision in Guadalajara that sounded like science fiction: a plan to colonize Mars to prevent a potential extinction event. Despite a recent rocket explosion, Musk proposed a "grandiose architecture" involving massive reusable rockets designed to transport a million tons of supplies and thousands of people to build a self-sustaining civilization.

Musk's ultimate goal for SpaceX remains clearly focused on making humanity multi-planetary. NUMBER 1
