Details: Musk noted that a trip to Mars is only possible when the planets align every 26 months, while the Moon can be “launched every 10 days.”

According to him, the “travel time” to Mars is 6 months, and to the Moon is 2 days.

Direct speech Mask: “However, SpaceX will also seek to build a city on Mars and will begin to do so in about 5-7 years, but the main priority is to ensure the future of civilization, and the Moon (for this – ed.) is a faster option.”

We will remind:

Over the past four months, Musk has set four wealth records at once. In October, he became the first person with a fortune of more than $500 billion after a meteoric rise in Tesla shares when he left the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in Donald Trump’s administration.

On December 15 of last year, Musk was the first in the world to exceed the mark of 600 billion dollars.

After the merger of his two companies, SpaceX, which is engaged in the production of rockets, and the social network xAI, American billionaire Elon Musk became the first person in history, whose fortune was estimated at more than 800 billion dollars.
