If we are serious about starting a colony on Mars, we must first establish a Lunar base. This crucial step will teach us invaluable lessons about building and living in habitats off world. By mastering these challenges on the Moon, we pave the way for the next giant leap, Mars. Lunar base first, Mars second – let's embark on this extraordinary journey to expand humanity's horizons.

Elon Musk`s obsession with Mars.

@elonmusk You can run but you can't hide. Obadiah 1:4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

Mars is not the only option and probably not the best...

No. We pass the Great Filter only after we have done things that would make us visible to a far away civilization at our then current level of development.

Dear Elon, just starting selling the mars base building stuff here on earth.. itll sell like hot cakes.

"I think we'll have enough mass transferred to Mars within like 30 years to make Mars self sustaining, such that Mars can continue to grow & prosper even if the resupply ships from Earth stop coming, & that greatly increases the probable lifespan of civilization." 一 Elon Musk

ELON MUSK: MAKE LIFE MULTI-PLANETARY WITH THE KEY THRESHOLD TO SUSTAIN EVEN WITHOUT SUPPLY SHIPS FROM EARTH "The goal is to make life multi-planetary. The key threshold for that is if the supply ships from Earth stop coming for any reason, Mars does not die out That is the critical "Great Filter," if you talk about things in terms of the Fermi Paradox "The Great Filter is Mars being self-sustaining without any supply ships from Earth" Until we reach that point, we are really just a one-planet civilization with an extension. If Mars becomes self-sustaining, then even in a worst-case scenario of Earth’s civilization either dying with a bang or a whimper Mars would have a much better chance of surviving So, the intent here overall is to ensure that the light of consciousness, which appears to be just a tiny candle in a vast darkness"

Elon Musk explains that the true milestone isn’t just landing on Mars, but when Mars can survive without any help from Earth, that’s when humanity truly becomes a multi-planet species.

Elon Musk: With Mars, humanity can achieve civilizational resilience. “The fundamental fork in the road for human destiny is where Mars can continue to grow even if the supply ships from Earth stop coming for any reason. At that point, we've achieved civilizational resilience where Mars can potentially come to the rescue of Earth if something goes wrong. Or maybe Earth could come to the rescue of Mars, but having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong I think is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization.” SpaceX Update, May 27, 2025

ELON: WHAT MATTERS IS BUILDING A SELF-SUSTAINING CITY ON MARS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE “The important thing is that we build a self-sustaining city on Mars as quickly as possible. The key threshold is when that city can continue to grow, continue to prosper even when the supply ships from Earth stop coming. It may be that civilization dies with a whimper rather than a bang and simply loses the ability to send ships to Mars. So, you obviously need Mars to become self-sustaining and be able to grow by itself before the resupply ships from Earth stop coming. That is the critical civilizational threshold beyond which the probable lifespan of civilization is much greater.” Source: Interview with Ted Cruz, March 2025

Elon nailed the real test for Mars: the fork in human destiny is whether we build a city there that can keep going and growing even if Earth stops sending resupply ships. If Mars can survive on its own, consciousness gets a way longer shot at lasting.

Elon Musk on the real goal for Mars: “It’s not about just landing on Mars and doing flags and footprints. It’s about creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.” The most important moment in human history will be when Mars becomes truly self-sustaining - when it can grow and survive on its own, even if Earth stops sending ships If resupply from Earth is still required, then we haven’t created real life insurance for humanity When Mars becomes self-sustaining, the future of life as we know it will forever change
