""For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than ten years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years," he tweeted."
""Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," he wrote while responding to his own tweet about SpaceX building a "system that allows anyone to travel to Moon.""
""There must also be things that make us super excited and inspired about the future," he added. "This is one of [sic] things. Bigtime.""
Elon Musk pursued Mars colonization from the early 2000s, initially proposing to refurbish an ICBM to deliver a small greenhouse called the "Mars Oasis." After founding SpaceX, he dedicated the company to developing technologies for a self-sustaining colony on Mars and set public timelines for early missions in the early 2020s. He publicly promoted Mars and criticized NASA for prioritizing the Moon. Recently he announced pausing Mars plans for at least five years and redirected focus toward building a self-growing city on the Moon that could be achieved in under ten years, expressing renewed excitement about lunar ambitions.
