Shocking statements from Elon Musk about life on Mars
American billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX is racing to develop rockets to transport humans to Mars by 2050, but the world's richest man sparked widespread controversy after he asserted that life on Mars would be dangerous and difficult.
Musk indicated that astronauts seeking to reach the Red Planet must be prepared to deal with a difficult environment and a lot of hard work, explaining that a ticket to Mars for the first generation of astronauts will be for $ 100,000.
He said publicity to entice people to visit Mars is a bogus advertisement for a perilous journey where returning to Earth again would be just as questionable, as in previous advertisements for 20th-century expeditions to Antarctica.
It is reported that the surface temperature of Mars is 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the planet lacks an atmosphere that leads to human breathing, other than toxic soil.
Musk plans to launch 1,000 spacecraft to Mars in batches every two years between 2030 and 2040, with a capacity to accommodate 100 people per vehicle.
