We believe Elon Musk will make SpaceX Mars Colony come true within the next 20 years. Hence we want to explain the SpaceX Mars timeline and a basic Mars colony concept in detail.
We think that it is extremely important for humanity to become a multiplanetary species, starting by establishing colonies on Mars and on the Moon. If not, any fatal event on Earth could easily lead to our ultimate extinction.
So how exactly does SpaceX Mars colony plan look like? And what importance do NASA's recent moon plans have in all this? Obviously, the recent Starhopper and raptor engine tests are the first step to build the SpaceX Starship and Superheavy rocket system that will fly humans to Mars and the Moon.
We believe that the Moon will come first, since NASA will probably send American astronauts to the Moon in using SpaceX's Starship by 2024, as right now there is no other system capable of landing humans on the Moon. Through contracts with NASA and SpaceX moon mission with the Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, SpaceX will have enough funds to launch SpaceX Mars rockets with supplies by the mid 2020s.
After that, we assume that the first SpaceX manned flight to Mars could take place as early as 2028-2030 (Elon's timeline + a few years usually gives the right time estimate XD). Once on Mars, SpaceX will probably NOT build the Mars colony themselves, but leave that to other private companies. The first Mars shelters and habitats will most likely be manufactured with 3D printing technology.
At the same time, the Moon colony will be NASA's focus. Therefore, humanity will have at least two well-developed off-world colonies and become a multiplanetary species by the late 2030s.
