According to Elon Musk one day space tourists will be able to pay around $100,000 to reach Mars A relatively low figure, especially if we consider the current cost of space missions and, even more so, if we compare it with the more than $4 billion from the Artemis program, NASA’s operation that will take humans back to the moon. .

This is undoubtedly a hypothetical price projected in the very long term, when SpaceX will have achieved most of its objectives and will be able to launch its spaceships into space regularly and at negligible cost.

Elon Musk made his estimate of the cost of a ticket to Mars on the occasion of a recent interview with Chris Anderson, founder of the format ‘TED‘, the itinerant conferences devoted to the most diverse themes.

If moving to Mars is going to cost, and I mean about $100,000, then almost anyone can save this amount simply by working. Anyone can move to Mars if they want

Elon Musk explained. It is precisely this passage that has raised the eyebrows of the American press more than once (and not only): 100,000 dollars is not precisely a figure within the range of ‘almost everyone’. This certainly applies to Italy, but also to the US, where the average annual salary (depending on who makes the estimate) is between 30 thousand and 40 thousand dollars.

In Elon Musk’s defense, it’s clear that a person who wants to move to Mars permanently will no longer need assets on our planet — and therefore be able to sell real estate.

Elon Musk had previously argued that a trip to Mars could cost between $100,000 and $500,000, adding that SpaceX has set itself a goal of building more than 1,000 spaceships by the end of the next decade.
