On Tuesday, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk unveiled plans for a spacecraft and rocket project that intends to put intelligent life on Mars: human life. Mars is located about 140 million miles from Earth and the journey takes anywhere from six-to-nine months, according to Reuters. Musk said Tuesday that Mars trips using the SpaceX interplanetary rocket and capsule could start as soon as 2023, according to Gizmodo. Although Musk acknowledged the heavy price tag, he hinted to overall interest some have in living on Mars. “Elon Musk has an amazing vision for the future of Mars and I am sure it will inspire millions about the future of space exploration,” he said, via email.
