Elon Musk unveils plans on starting a Martian community
With Elon Musk's connections, inventions, and financials, no doubt he can do what he wants. His visions, his missions may have drawn reactions from different sectors but if his determination has never failed, his ideal community on Mars may come to a reality. On his one-hour speech on his mysterious mission to mars and his long time ambition to colonize it, together with his transport system in the recently held Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Reports from The Verge while he introduces Raptor as one of Musk's powerful engines has been tested in full scale by his company, SpaceX. These and other equipment are still on the way of producing will make up the Transport System that will bring humans to mars. But as the questions of cost and expenses can be answered by the company, survival questions may still linger on. And until no one dares to try it, it is still unimaginable.
NASA has yet to agree on his exploration with rocket blow ups from trial and error, it is too soon to predict the road leading to Mars. Musk's SpaceX have been in partnership with NASA for its Commercial Crew Program that should have sent American astronauts into space for training a year from now, but that's all too much for NASA to sacrifice. No doubt his resources cannot do it alone, as analyzed by Gizmodo, he needed more help from other investors, philanthropists who are even richer than him to finance his biggest project. Not to mention his attempt to make a big machine enter mars, when all of what NASA have used are light parachutes to touch mars' complicated atmosphere.
But as a true business tycoon, Elon Musk and those who will share his visions will gain profit and "accumulation of assets" if this project of SpaceX will push through.
