SpaceX is a private aerospace manufacturer and space transporter company founded by Elon Musk with the objective of sending people to Mars, but to reach Mars they work to reduce the price of sending spacecrafts to the space, basically producing reusable rockets. Nowadays the company has reached some objectives and it's working on improvements.
Elon Musk says the objective of create a colony on Mars is because if we don't expand to other planets we'll extinguish (this is an interesting argument and a great matter to study, different mathematics and statisticians got the same conclusions, one says we have just +/- 1000 years).
“The future of humanity is fundamentally going to bifurcate along one of two directions:
Either we’re going to become a multiplanet species and a spacefaring civilization,
or we’re going be stuck on one planet until some eventual extinction event,”
Elon Musk
Until the date SpaceX has been succesful enough to create new and daring projects, as well as continue with his main target: take humans to Mars.
Mars:
On 28th September Elon Musk said that the first manned mission to Mars will probably be on 2024. They'll need more money to devolp the necessary rocket, which will cost 10 billion dollars and would take 100 passengers too Mars. Well, 100 passengers each spacecraft, they plan to send some at the same time.
If all goes right, in 40-100 years there would be a milion people living on Mars. That sounds crazy, completely science fiction, but well, we'll see.
