• To reduce the risk of global catastrophes (climate change, nuclear war, pandemics).

• To harness space for resource extraction and technological advancement.

• To inspire humanity to dream bigger.

Starship – The Key to Mars

• Fully reusable spacecraft.

• Capable of carrying large amounts of cargo and passengers.

• Designed for interplanetary travel.

• In-orbit refueling to extend range.

Timeline for Mars Missions & Robots

• Late 2026: SpaceX plans to send the Optimus robot on an unmanned mission to Mars – “Starship departs for Mars at the end of next year, carrying Optimus. .” – Elon Musk, X

• 2026-2028: First unmanned missions.

• 2029-2035: First humans land on Mars. “If those landings go well, then human landings may start as soon as 2029, although 2031 is more likely.” – Elon Musk, X

• 2035-2050: Development of a self-sustaining colony.

• 2050+: Establishment of a city with one million residents.

Challenges of Colonizing Mars

• Extreme environmental conditions (temperature, radiation, gravity).

• Need for life support systems and food production.

• Transporting vast amounts of supplies.

• Psychological and social challenges for astronauts.

Technology & Resources on Mars

• Extracting oxygen from Mars’ atmosphere.

• Using solar energy for power supply.

• 3D printing and local resource utilization for construction.

• Producing fuel (methane and oxygen) on Mars for return flights.

Long-Term Vision

• A fully functioning Mars city with one million people.

• Utilizing Mars’ resources to create a self-sustaining economy.

• Using Mars as a base for further exploration of the solar system.

• Turning science fiction into reality!
