SpaceX founder Elon Musk said that his company aims to realize interstellar travel and introduce humanity to alien civilizations. The Vedomosti newspaper reported this, citing a speech by the billionaire in Texas.
“We want ‘Star Trek’ to become a reality,” the American entrepreneur noted. According to him, ideas that seem like science fiction today may become scientific fact in the future.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that Elon Musk had prepared detailed plans for the colonization of Mars. It was reported that SpaceX teams were working on drawings of dome-shaped residential complexes and special spacesuits for living on Mars.
Separate groups of doctors have also studied the possibility of giving birth to children in the conditions of the Red Planet. Musk himself stated that he was ready to provide the future colony with genetic material.
However, the SpaceX founder later denied these reports about the colonization of Mars. Now, he is openly talking about more ambitious goals, such as the search for contact with extraterrestrial intelligence.
