Elon Musk wants to start colonizing Mars in the next 10 years. First, spacecraft are to bring the necessary material supplies to Mars. In the next step, humans will then fly to Mars for the first time. Time is pressing, because Mars is only close enough to Earth every 10 years to send a spacecraft the shortest distance to our planetary neighbor.
So we can be sure that preparations for Mars missions are currently in full swing. Elon Musk wants to take a select group of people consisting of astronauts, civilians and scientists to Mars.
