Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has sparked discussion by suggesting that with dedication and savings, most individuals could afford a ticket to Mars, priced in the six-figure range. Musk reiterated his ambitious goal of colonizing Mars to create a self-sustaining city during a conversation with TED head, Chris Anderson. While previously estimating Mars trip costs between $100,000 and $500,000, Musk expressed a desire to make space travel accessible to all. However, it’s worth noting that the feasibility of this assertion may be questioned, given varying income levels globally and financial constraints faced by many.
