Elon Musk says he is "confident" moving to Mars will "one day" cost less than $500,000 and "maybe even" cost below $100,000.
While the final cost is "very dependent on the volume" of travellers, Musk said the cost of moving to Mars will be "low enough that most people in advanced economies could sell their home on Earth and move to Mars if they want."
The "aspirational goal" for SpaceX is to send their first rocket to Mars with cargo only in 2022, according to SpaceX's website. The second mission, which will take more cargo and crew, is aiming to go in 2024 so you’ve a while yet to pack your bags.
