We all know that Tesla’s CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s biggest goal after the success of Tesla cars and Starlink satellites is to set foot on the Red Planet Mars and colonize there.
Billionaire Elon Musk disappointed with his response to a post shared by a space page on Twitter. In this tweet series, Elon Musk shared a new date with the whole public about when people will set foot on Mars. However, this new date marks a later time than we expected.
‘Target 2029!’
Space Hub shared a post on Twitter. In the post, the year 1969, the date when humanity set foot on the Moon, and below that, humans were on Mars and below ’20__?’ There is an image that says. Elon Musk’s answer to Space Hub, which asked people for his guess, was also an event.
Elon Musk says that the date when humans will set foot on the Red Planet will be 2029. Of course, this is not an official statement, we do not know if the Tesla CEO really plans in this direction. This is just a guess. However, considering that the dates given in the past are much earlier, although this is not an official statement from SpaceX, we may have to wait a little longer for the manned Mars mission that we are excitedly waiting for.
What was the plan for the first manned Mars mission?
As recently as December last year, Elon Musk announced that he plans to complete the mission to Mars, where the first astronauts will go, in 2026. Considering that he aimed to set foot on the Red Planet in 2024 in 2016 and now gave the answer to 2029; It seems that the 2026 target is also far away. Whether there is a postponement or change in the task, there is no definite information about this yet, and 2029 may be a controversial date as Musk is a rather ‘naughty’ character on social media, but we’ll wait and see.
If Elon Musk can get humans to the surface of Mars by 2029, this will be a special anniversary because the Moon landing took place exactly 60 years ago, in 1969. Today, NASA’s new manned Moon mission is also on the agenda, but the landing of humans on a different celestial body other than the Moon, on a different planet, will take place on Mars for the first time after the Moon.
