Elon Musk: the first tourists to Mars will die

On a mission to Mars, Musk said, “you might die, it might be uncomfortable, and there probably won't be any good food.”

In his opinion, the invitation to visitThe Red Planet needs to point out that astronauts, colonizers and tourists may not return home. The founder of the aerospace company SpaceX added that it would be a “difficult and dangerous journey.” At the same time, Musk added that the first people on Mars should be volunteers who will have a “great adventure.”

“To be honest, a group of people will probably die at the very beginning of the journey,” Musk added, but noted the mission's “amazing experience”.

“This mission is not for everyone,” the businessman concluded. “We only need volunteers!”

SpaceX has launched more than 100 rockets in the lastdecade. Some of them exploded or crashed. Musk predicted the landing of humans on Mars by 2026 and the creation of a city on the Red Planet with a population of 1 million.

Earlier, in June 2016, the head of SpaceX, in an interview with The Washington Post, compared the planned beginning of the colonization of Mars with the exploration of North America by the British.
