SpaceX outlines plan for self-sustaining civilization on Mars
SpaceX’s upgraded Starship V3 makes fiery ocean landing after debut test flight
SpaceX’s updated initial public offering (IPO) filing highlights its mission to establish a self-sustaining colony of at least one million inhabitants on Mars.
The IPO filing suggests a $135 share price, valuing the company at approximately $1.75 trillion, which could make Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire.
SpaceX states its mission is to ensure ‘species-level redundancy’ and prevent humanity from suffering the ‘same fate as dinosaurs’ by becoming a multiplanetary civilization.
The Starship rocket is central to achieving this goal, and SpaceX holds a multi-billion-dollar contract with NASA to use Starship for its Artemis program.
Starship’s development has faced recent setbacks, including a test flight mishap on May 22 that led the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to ground further test flights.
