Elon Musk aspires to build a Mars city of a million people
The founder and CEO of SPACEX commercial spaceflight Elon Mask said a city on Mars could have a population of nine million in a few decades.
In a replay of recent views of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking, Mask said that at some point, humans would face a "deadly event" only if they became "truly multi-planetary creatures," that is, inhabiting more than one planet.
He said the main reason for making money - where his fortune is estimated at $ 15 billion - is to make this dream a reality.
In a New Science journal, Musk writes he envisions building a fleet to colonize Mars, consisting of 1,000 multi-vehicle vehicles, to build a population of up to a million people over 40 to 100 years.
"It's a bit cold, but we can raise it," he said. "It has a very helper atmosphere consisting mainly of carbon dioxide with some nitrogen, argon and a few other trace elements. We can plant plants on Mars only by compressing the atmosphere. "
Musk said living on Mars would be "fun," because the red planet's attractiveness is about 37 percent of Earth's gravity, allowing people to carry heavy objects easily and jump around.
The owners of the Tesla electric company believe that Mars and Earth planets are very similar in many ways, and that if we can raise the temperature of Mars, humans will be able to get a thick atmosphere and liquid oceans.

Elon Musk is always confident and is really ambitious. But I am confident that he can do it. He has the talent, the right people to work with him and the captial he needs. He always created awesome inventions. I remember when he worked on Paypal, which has still been a world-shocking idea that influences the whole financial sector.
