“@FischerKing64 Keep books and historical media safe. SpaceX will put copies of knowledge in space an on the Moon and Mars.”
“🚀 for all mankind 🚀 https://t.co/riHsNMQqcP [@astro_reid] @elonmusk Thank you, @elonmusk - the four of us glimpsed the red hues of Mars far in the distance as the sun slipped behind the Moon and there was zero doubt in our minds that the creative genius of our greatest minds will have us there very soon. LETS GO”
“RT @WhiteHouse: NEXT STEP: MARS! https://t.co/X4TJDFp67A”
“Yes [@_The_Prophet__] ⚡️Starship is the most important machine on Earth because it is the only serious bridge between a trapped species and a spacefaring one. That is the real truth. Everything else is downstream of lift cost. Moon bases, Mars cities, orbital industry, space solar, off world mining,”
“@SawyerMerritt @SpaceX SpaceX will ultimately deliver millions of tons to the Moon to build a self-growing city there and same for Mars”
“Yes [@XFreeze] Elon Musk reveals the deeper purpose of becoming a multiplanetary species: “Having two planets that are both self-sustaining and strong is going to be incredibly important for the long-term survival of civilization The goal is not just to visit Mars - it’s to ensure the light”
“True. New Roadster unveil probably in late April. [@Rainmaker1973] Today in 2008, Tesla began the regular production on its first car, the Tesla Roadster. Also, a reminder that there's one Tesla Roadster in an elliptical heliocentric orbit crossing the orbit of Mars.”

“@tetsuoai To be clear, we are still going to do Mars. I don’t think this change affects the time to a Mars city being self-growing by more than 5 years and it might turn out to accelerate Mars.”
“@Devon_Eriksen_ @JoelSercel You need to get mass from a substrate, like the Moon or Mars, to grow a major civilization, which obviously requires vast amounts of mass. It is extremely inefficient to keep moving the mass out of some planetary gravity well to grow and the asteroid belt is too far away and too… https://t.co/szkQy2bsVw https://x.com/i/web/status/2022026590738075848”

“And Mars too”
“@wintonARK @SciGuySpace We’re still going to Mars and the timeframe for building a self-growing city there is still about the same at 20 to 30 years. It’s possible that revenue from lunar activities might actually accelerate Mars.”
“@farzyness The priority shift is because I’m worried that a natural or manmade catastrophe stops the resupply ships coming from Earth, causing the colony to die out. We can make the Moon city self-growing in less than 10 years, but Mars will take 20+ years due to the 26 month iteration… https://t.co/stiaf8Tkpu https://x.com/i/web/status/2020910733697954282”
“@aaronburnett The Moon would establish a foothold beyond Earth quickly, to protect life against risk of a natural or manmade disaster on Earth. We would continue to launch directly from Earth to Mars while possible, rather than Moon to Mars, as fuel is relatively scarce on the Moon.”
“Yes [@mark_k] Elon Musk just announced a major strategic pivot for @SpaceX: the company is officially shifting its primary focus to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon. The logic is centered on speed. While Mars missions are restricted by orbital alignments every 26 months, SpaceX can… https://x.com/i/web/status/2020780398372900902”
“Mars will start in 5 or 6 years, so will be done in parallel with the Moon, but the Moon will be the initial focus [@ApoStructura] The Moon, then Mars, then the belt, then Jupiter and Saturn, then the stars.”
“@peterrhague As I said in my post, we will still do Mars in parallel, but the critical path to a self-growing Moon city is faster. The Moon city can be made to be self-growing in less than half the time of Mars. The critical juncture for humanity’s expansion beyond Earth is having a… https://t.co/vn78V12Bra https://x.com/i/web/status/2020829121916412129”
“For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
