Elon Musk is well-known for posting a variety of content on Twitter. Among these are his posts about Mars, which never fail to spark people’s interest. He’s finally spoken out about it, and there’s a good chance that his tweet will make your jaw drop in astonishment.
Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, posted an animated on Tuesday showing the company’s Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket, collectively known as Starship, on their way to Mars.
The five-minute video, featuring stunning visuals and music, covers the moment from Starship’s take-off from Earth to its landing on Mars. In the video’s last few seconds, astronauts are seen looking out on a lit-up Mars base.
“Starship to Mars simulation,” said SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who also published a link to a video on the company’s official YouTube account. That isn’t all, though. “This will be real in our lifetime,” he said in a Twitter reply to his own post.

The primary tweet has received over 59,000 likes since it was posted, and the number is rapidly growing. The video on YouTube has received nearly one million views.
“Once we make this work,” Elon Musk told the BBC, “it’ll be an enormously tremendous breakthrough in access to space.”
“When aircraft first appeared, they were regarded as toys. When the Wright Brothers first took to the air, most people were still riding horses; they could never have anticipated that tens of thousands of aircraft would take off and travel to every corner of the globe. So, this may be a huge situation, and we can’t even imagine all the possibilities right now,” he added.
SpaceX, Musk’s aerospace company, plans to land the first humans on Mars by 2024. It is developing Starship, a fully reusable transportation system capable of transporting crew and cargo to “Earth’s orbit, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.”
According to SpaceX, “Starship will be the world’s most powerful launch vehicle yet designed, capable of carrying in excess of 100 metric tonnes to Earth orbit.”
Musk said last week, while giving an update on Starship, that it was capable of building a self-sustaining colony on Mars, according to Space.com. He had added, “I think we should strive to achieve that as soon as we can.”
In the long run, the billionaire stressed the need of humans becoming a multi-planetary species. He went on to say that humanity would eventually perish “and carry life with us from outside the solar system.”
Musk did not give a specific timeframe for the Starship missions and was cautious about early test runs. He admitted that SpaceX will be successful “We’re going to lose a few vehicles along the road.”
