Moon before Mars

Berman summarizes Musk's lunar-city proposal and the travel comparison behind it. The projected timeline remains an estimate.

Elon Musk says SpaceX has changed its near-term focus from Mars to building a self-growing city on the Moon. He suggests it could potentially be achieved in less than ten years. That is a projection, not a completed project; Musk also described Mars as a longer-term ambition.

Musk says the overall mission remains extending life and consciousness beyond Earth. He compares Mars launch opportunities roughly every 26 months and a six-month trip with his estimate of lunar launches every ten days and a two-day trip. These are his planning estimates rather than a demonstrated launch schedule.
