Elon Musk to MarsMusk's Mars plan mainly included the following:
- * * Project goal **: Send humans to Mars, making humans a multi-planet species to deal with problems that Earth may face, such as extraterrestrial planetary collisions, energy depletion, or overpopulation. At the same time, it is also a life insurance for all life on Earth. Mars was considered suitable to be transformed into a second Earth. There were plans to build a human city on Mars and make humans the masters of Mars.
- * * Plan Details **:
- * * Early exploration and infrastructure **: Starting in 2018, SpaceX will launch an unmanned spacecraft to Mars. This type of unmanned mission will take place about once every two years (because Mars and Earth are the closest to each other). The first batch of Mars explorers numbered no more than 10 people. Their mission was to build a large, sealed, transparent, dome-shaped supercharged building on the Martian desert.
- * * Personnel transportation arrangements **: SpaceX plans to send 80,000 Earthlings to Mars for colonization in the next 15 - 20 years. These "Mars colony pioneers" will stay on Mars forever to recuperate and reproduce. Each Mars "colony pioneer" will have to pay 500,000 US dollars for "travel expenses." Musk also revealed that SpaceX plans to launch about five unmanned spacecraft to Mars within two years. The schedule for the first manned mission will depend on the success of the unmanned flight. If the unmanned mission lands safely, the manned mission will be launched within four years. Otherwise, it will be delayed by another two years. He also said that the first humans will land on Mars within seven years.
- [Follow-up development plan: In the long run, to allow one million people to voluntarily colonize Mars, it needs to be profitable.] The possible economic sources of the Mars colony included mineral resources, tourism, etc., but it faced many challenges, such as the harsh environment of Mars, high transportation costs, and the competition of mineral resources on the moon. From the perspective of economic feasibility, there was currently no economic foundation for Mars colonization. However, if most of the industrial and agricultural production relied on artificial intelligence to achieve fully automated production, human production capacity and resource consumption would increase exponentially. At that time, Mars might usher in the spring of economic development, and Mars colonization could be successful.
The novel "Mars of Paradise" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!

Well, usually Elon Musk caricatures focus on his distinctive hairstyle, his expressions when announcing big projects, or sometimes play with the idea of his influence in the tech world. They might make his features larger or more exaggerated to make a statement.
Elon Musk is not exactly a name that rolls easily off the tongue, like say Tony Stark, the fictional person to whom he is most often compared, or even Steve Jobs, a real-world visionary, whose mantle Musk now wears. There is no question that Musk is a special individual, someone with BIG dreams and the drive, talent, and money to make them happen. But, like Jobs, and Stark for that matter, he might be an acquired taste on a personal level. Excellent and inspiring. This book brought up one fundamental question: do you have to be a bit reckless to be good? Musk was reckless in two areas: in the risks he took, and the way that he manages his companies. The guy's a genius, and this book, I think, represents that well.
