In this sense, it seems that SpaceX is not alone, but they are working with many other companies, so that a plan that is more efficient can be generated, thus helping to reduce costs in the mission, which is another aspect of great importance in this regard. The power source to be used is a critical matter, with several options on the table, but without a final option being chosen at the moment.

Also the possible presence of water on Mars is an issue that generates interest and concern. The plans are to send a couple of fact-finding missions first. You want to be able to send research equipment as soon as possible.

They are certainly ambitious plans, but SpaceX faces many challenges and they have to make certain decisions in their space ambitions. The company is clear that in about five or six years there will be people who reach Mars. We will see if the project develops as expected.
