Humanity could reach the Red Planet and the Moon sooner than we think.
SpaceX President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) Gwynne Shotwell said a crewed mission to Mars could happen before the end of the 2020s.
“I think it will be in this decade, yes. People on the Moon, sooner,” Shotwell told CNBC recently.
"I think we need to get a large delivery to the surface of Mars, and then people will start thinking harder about it," she added. "And then, I think within five or six years, people will see that that will be a real place to go".
Elon Musk’s company has set itself the ambitious task to make space travel more accessible for humanity.
