Elon Musk: Humans Could Land on Mars as Soon as 2029

Elon Musk: We could be on Mars as soon as 2029.

“I think the soonest [humans will land on Mars] would be 2029. I don't think it's more than two to four years beyond that. The best case would be 2029.

I don't think we're going to find aliens, but we may find the ruins of a long-dead alien civilization. And we may find subterranean microbial life.”
