Musk has said he wants to begin sending humans to Mars by 2024.
"We're establishing cargo flights to Mars that people can count on," he said in June 2016. "The Earth-Mars orbital rendezvous is only every 26 months, so there'll be one in 2018; there will be another one in 2020. And I think if things go according to plan, we should be able to launch people probably in 2024 with the arrival in 2025."
Musk reiterated this timeline when he spoke on Friday.
He has even shared his vision for a Martian government.
"I think most likely the form of government of Mars would be a direct democracy, not representative," he said during the Code conference last year. "So it would be people voting directly on issues. And I think that's probably better because the potential for democracy is substantially diminished."
And he isn't merely interested in people surviving on Mars. He wants a thriving city to exist.
Musk said in the Reddit AMA that he wanted the red planet to include everything from "iron foundries to pizza joints."
