Have Out of This World Ambition.
Elon’ s ambition is to colonize Mars as a way to backup the human race. Colonizing Mars is much more than a business decision for Musk. It’ s about the future of the human species:“ I think it’ s important that humanity become a multi-planet species. I think most people would agree that a future where we are a spacefaring civilization is inspiring and exciting compared with one where we are forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event. That’ s really why I started SpaceX.” In Ashlee Vance’ s biography on Musk, Elon reveals that he wishes to establish a Mars colony by 2040, with a population of 80,000.

When SpaceX was told to wait to launch rockets in the U. S. he went and found a Pacific island he could use straight away. Elon once jumped on his private jet and flew to England to take a needed machine tool to a factory in France and speed up production. When Tesla needed to test a prototype in the cold he hired an ice-cream truck with a big refrigerated trailer.
