SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says he hopes the commercial space launch firm will put an astronaut on Mars within 10 to 20 years, if his plans proceed.
"We'll probably put a first man in space in about three years," Elon Musk told the Wall Street Journal Saturday. "We're going all the way to Mars, I think... best case 10 years, worst case 15 to 20 years."
"Our goal is to facilitate the transfer of people and cargo to other planets, and then it will be up to people if they want to go," said Musk who is among the foremost leaders of the NewSpace commercial space launch movement within the United States.
"A future where humanity is out there exploring stars is an incredibly exciting future, and inspiring, and that's what we're trying to help make happen," Musk added in the Wall Street Journal interview.
