SpaceX owner Elon Musk has already signed a contract with the US space agency Nasa for a manned moon landing for 2025. In the past, the space visionary had spoken of colonizing Mars and wanting to bring a million people there. According to plans announced by Musk in 2016, the first humans could travel to Mars as early as 2025. However, that is extremely unlikely. The US space agency Nasa sees a first manned Mars mission at the earliest in the 2030s.
