Elon Musk has announced the date of the landing of man on Mars

Elon Musk has used his Twitter account to predict when humans will finally land on Mars.

He responded to a Space Hub post that asked him how soon that would happenin the XXI century.

"2029," he wrote in response to the meme, which linked the prospect of humans on Mars to the historic landing of humans on the moon during NASA's Apollo missions in 1969.

Earlier, in December 2021, he told the magazineTime that it would be surprised if humans "don't land on Mars within five years." He also spoke in detail about the plans for the development of the Red Planet. For example, build a self-sustaining city that will use solar-powered hydroponic farms. They will support a permanent human settlement at a distance of 55 million km from Earth.

"The next really important task is to build a self-sustaining city on Mars and move animals and  terrestrial creatures there," the SpaceX founder told Time."It's going to be kind of like a futuristic Noah's Ark, but we're going to take more than two, of course."

Until then, SpaceX needs to completework on Starship, the next-generation interplanetary spacecraft that made its first successful landing after takeoff in May 2021. As Musk stated on Lex Friedman's podcast, "Starship is the most complex and advanced rocket ever built."
