Fox News contributor Charles Hart talks about why Democrats “love” debt and Musk’s “interesting” interview with Trump on X.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk made some bold predictions about human life on Mars in a series of social media posts on Saturday.
Musk wrote the prediction on X in response to a post by Bill Ackman promoting a “Make America Healthy Again” ad posted by Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy’s former vice presidential candidate.
“Without our health and that of our children, we have nothing,” Ackman wrote, “and there is no more important initiative for those who care about our economy, our national debt, and our budget deficit.”
Musk used Ackman’s tweet as a springboard to discuss how colonizing Mars would advance humanity.

“The first Mars-bound spacecraft will launch when the next phase of travel between Earth and Mars begins in two years,” Musk explained. “It will be an unmanned vehicle, and it will be a test of its reliability to land on Mars intact.”
“If the landing goes well, the first manned flight to Mars would be four years from now.”
The entrepreneur added that the idea of building a sustainable human settlement on Mars within 20 years is not impossible.

“Flight rates would increase exponentially from there, with the goal of building self-sustaining cities in around 20 years,” Musk continued. “Having multiple planets would greatly extend the lifespan of consciousness, since literally and metabolically all of the eggs would not be on one planet.”
The Starship spacecraft is designed as a “fully reusable transportation system designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.” SpaceX’s website states that Mars is one of Earth’s “closest habitable planetary neighbors” and has “ample sunlight.”
“It’s a bit cold, but we can heat it up,” SpaceX states on its website. “The Martian atmosphere is primarily carbon dioxide, with some nitrogen and argon, as well as other trace elements. This means that we could grow plants on Mars simply by compressing the atmosphere.”

“Mars’ gravity is about 38% of Earth’s, allowing you to lift heavy objects and fly around,” the site continues, “plus, the daylight hours are remarkably similar to Earth’s.”
