Elon Musk

In honor of the explorer’s drive to plunge into the unknown, take a look at Elon Musk’s plans to colonize Mars.  They are stunning, visually and otherwise. His immediate mission objectives give you a tiny sense of the challenges he faces:

• Learn how to transport and land large payloads on Mars
• Identify and characterize potential resources such as water
• Characterize potential landing sites, including identifying surface hazards
• Demonstrate key surface capabilities on Mars

Who knows, maybe we will celebrate Columbus Day on Mars one of these years . . .
