Elon Musk reveals the price of the ticket to Mars

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX, hopes to one day bring private citizens to Mars as if it were a normal scheduled flight. He further states that one day the ticket could cost less than $ 100,000, and that the return will be free.

The cost of the ticket and how cheap it can become will obviously depend on how many people want to go there.

At price requests made on Twitter, he replied that it will be cheap enough that many homeowners on Earth will be able to think about moving to Mars.

His exact words on Twitter were: “a lot depends on the volume (of passengers), but I think going to Mars one day will cost, less than $ 500,000, it may even be less than $ 100,000. A price low enough to allow wealthy people to sell their home on Earth and move to Mars if they want to. “

Of course he also hopes that all these trips will be carried out with his Starshipthe SpaceX spacecraft that is now being tested.

Also on Twitter, there are a lot of people who have made themselves available or asked, how to help the development of the Starship. It therefore seems there is a great desire and a great hurry to go to Mars. On the other hand, there is a lot of talk about the Red Planet, and it is understandable that, given the possibility, many want see it live with your own eyes.

And certainly this does not displease Elon Musk, who declared that the enthusiasm of the public is necessary for the success of the Starship. Musk has indeed taken to reassure all fans of him on Twitter, promising to keep them updated on project developments.

But for the moment there is still to get to the moon, and even this journey is not quite imminent.
