Immigrant cost of colonizing Mars program

Musca estimates that the company's total project to colonize Mars will cost 36 billion US dollars, and private investment and government subsidies accounting for 0.25% or 0.5% of GDP each year can make the company's dream of colonizing Mars come true. The GDP of the United States in 20 10 is 14.5 trillion dollars, and 0.25% of this GDP is 36 billion dollars. If these 80,000 potential "pioneers of Mars colonization" can each pay 500,000 dollars for their "travel expenses", they can also raise 40 billion dollars. Musca said: "A lot of expenses will be spent on building a Mars base, and a lot of infrastructure will be put in place.

Musk said that even for those who do not participate in the Mars colonization project, this project is still a grand space exploration event worthy of attention and watch, just like 1969 when humans landed on the moon for the first time. Musk said that once the company's colonial Mars program is successful, it will be like buying an accidental disaster "life insurance" for all life on earth.
