Musk's ambition is to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars within 20 years, contingent upon successful initial uncrewed landing tests in 2026.
Musk stated, "Being multiplanetary will vastly increase the probable lifespan of consciousness," emphasizing the importance of not having all humanity's resources concentrated on Earth.
Despite the ambitious timeline, Musk acknowledged, "4 years is best case for humans, might be 6, hopefully not 8," indicating potential delays in manned missions.
Musk plans for a fleet of more than 100 Starships to launch to Mars, with the first missions testing the reliability of Martian landings by 2026.
