Immigrant expenses of the colonial Mars program.

20 12 Musca, 4 1 year old, South African. He holds a degree in physics from the University of Pennsylvania, is the founder of the American Space Exploration Technology Company, and is also a world-renowned entrepreneur and inventor. Today, his worth is as high as $2.4 billion. 20 12 in may, American space exploration technology company successfully launched a "dragon" cargo spacecraft to the international space station by using the self-made "falcon 9" rocket, which opened the era of commercialization and privatization of space exploration. Musca said in a lecture at the Royal Aviation Society in London that in the next 15 to 20 years, he will first launch less than 10 "colonial pioneers" to Mars, and gradually establish a colony of Mars, which will eventually expand into a community of tens of thousands of people. Musca said: "We will build a self-sufficient civilization on Mars, which will expand into a huge community."

Musk said that these Mars "colonial pioneers" must all be volunteers, because the trip to Mars is obviously a "one-way ticket", and then they will stay on Mars forever. In addition, every Martian "colonial pioneer" must pay $500,000 for this trip to Mars. Musca said: "The first batch of Mars explorers will not exceed 10, and each person's' travel expenses' will be $500,000. The ticket price of this trip to Mars is so low that most middle-aged people in their forties in developed countries can raise it, making it easy for them to realize their dream of exploring Mars. " Musca added that the "travel expenses" of this trip to Mars are equivalent to buying a house in California.
