Elon Musk Reveals the cost of conducting Human Mars Mission


Mars, a dream of humans for centuries!

Mars Facing the Sun

For a Long time, Astronomers, Sci-fi writers, and numerous people have dreamed about one day living on another planet independently. This dream got a big boost when scientists discovered the presence of liquid water ice on the poles of Mars. After that, several scientists, engineers, and architects proposed how to live and survive on Mars, and one day, terraform it to make it our new home. Elon Musk has the aim of making Mars our second home for a long time. But this comes with a cost...

According to Elon Musk, this could be the Most Expensive Project in the history of Humanity




This mission requires Gigantic amounts of resources, finances, and support. There are many things, that an average person requires to survive, and when it becomes a colony of an enormous amount of people, the needs increase many folds. 

Elon Musk, in one of his tweets, told the Money required to execute the mission to Mars, to make Mars our second home.

The cost can be anywhere, starting from 100 Billion$ to 10 Trillion$

That indeed is a huge amount of capital required to execute this mission.


Cost can reduce substantially in the future

As technology advances more in the upcoming years, new methods will emerge to go to space, more effectively. One of them recently emerged, The Reusable Rockets, to which SpaceX has contributed a lot over the past few years.

As new technologies and inventions emerge, new methods to go, and travel faster in the vastness of space will also come, thus increasing the efficiency of every mission, and reducing the overall costs. 

Lets hope to achieve success in this mission
