Want to sign-up for the Mars mission?
Tech Times reported on Sept. 3, about SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's plan to get humans live on Mars. The original plan is to send humans there and make up the Martian colony, scheduled to end in 2050.
Musk estimated about a million people must be sent there in order for the mission to work. Technically, bringing 300 people to Mars every single day.
But this specific plan may pose a threat to humans that will be signing-up for it. Even the tech CEO warned everyone that will be joining his mission.
"I want to emphasize that this is a very hard and dangerous difficult thing. Not for the faint of heart," Musk noted. He added that while it will be tough, "it will be pretty glorious if it works out."
If you still want it, despite the clear warning, Musk said that he will offer a lot of jobs for those people signing up for the project. The billionaire will also provide everything during that trip and even all the necessities for the new Martians.
But before you suggest your friends to get up there, here's a spoiler alert on the real things that may really happen in Mars.
