Elon Musk’s SpaceX has put its mission to colonise Mars at the centre of its record-setting plans to go public, aiming to establish a self-sustaining colony of “at least one million inhabitants” on the Red Planet.
In an unusual opening statement for its updated initial public offering (IPO) filing, which was shared on Wednesday, SpaceX said its mission is “to build the systems and technologies necessary to make life multiplanetary”.
