Elon Musk has just made an unexpected turn in his interplanetary roadmap. Although Mars has always been the 'golden dream', the mogul has confirmed that SpaceX is now prioritizing the construction of an autonomous city on the Moon.
🌑 Why this change of plans?
The reason is purely pragmatic: speed and survival. Musk argues that establishing a permanent human presence on the Moon is an achievable goal in less than a decade, while a similar project on Mars would take more than 20 years.
"The main priority is to ensure the future of civilization, and the Moon is faster," Musk declared on X.
📊 Key points of the announcement:
Deadline: Less than 10 years for a functional lunar base.
Logistics: The proximity of the Moon allows for a much more stable supply chain than the 2-year launch window to Mars.
Vision: Mars is not abandoned, but the Moon is used as the necessary "training ground" to ensure multiplanetary life technology.
This move not only impacts the aerospace industry but also reinforces Musk's narrative about operational efficiency. For investors and tech ecosystem enthusiasts, this shows that even the biggest visions must be adjusted to the reality of execution times.
What do you think? Is this "step back" towards the Moon the necessary push for humanity to finally go further, or is it a sign that Mars is further away than we thought? 🛰️👇
