Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk are keen to see humans on the Moon and Mars as soon as possible.


In fact, they believe that humans should leave Earth and build bases on the Moon and cities on Mars.


Elon Musk expressed these thoughts in a post on X (Twitter's new name).



He said that the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 was very important when humans first stepped on the surface of the moon.


But he expressed disappointment and said that it has been 50 years since humans last landed on the moon.


He said that we reached the moon just 66 years after the first manned flight in the early 20th century, but we haven't tried to go to the moon again in the last 50 years.


Elon Musk said that humans should not only build a base on the moon and a city on Mars, but also reach for the stars.


Keep in mind that Elon Musk has been determined to settle humans on Mars for years.


In an article written for a journal in August 2022, Elon Musk said that human civilization should be able to travel to other planets.


He said, "If the earth becomes uninhabitable, we will have to fly to a new home in a space plane."


Elon Musk added that the first step to achieve this goal is to reduce the cost of space travel and that is why he founded SpaceX.


The richest man in the world said that he sees human civilization as a burning candle and we need to turn to other planets for our survival.


Elon Musk said his biggest hope for humans is to build a sustainable city on Mars.
