SpaceX CEO Elon Musk seems to believe that most people, so long as they “work and save up” will be able to afford a six-figure ticket for a trip to Mars.
In a conversation with the head of TED, Chris Anderson, published on Monday, Mr Musk reiterated that he aims to colonise Mars by building a self-sustaining city of a million people on the planet. In the past, Mr Musk has estimated that a ticket to Mars on a SpaceX flight would cost between $100,000 and $500,00.
