Elon Musk envisions Mars as humanity’s next great frontier, proposing the name “New World” for the Red Planet once colonised. With SpaceX’s Starship rocket, Musk plans to deliver resources and establish infrastructure for a self-sustaining colony. By the early 2030s, crewed missions could begin. Critics, like Neil deGrasse Tyson, remain sceptical of its feasibility, but Musk insists Mars is essential for humanity's survival. His vision represents a bold step toward safeguarding civilisation from potential extinction.
