In a recent program, Musk said that he hopes to send tens of thousands of people to the lunar base within the next ten years, and aims to send the first batch of supplies to the Moon and Mars by the end of this year to begin establishing colonies. Musk predicts that in the next two to three years, SpaceX will first send astronauts to the moon, then expand rapidly based on this, send humans to the moon and Mars within the next five years, and establish permanent cities on the lunar surface within ten years. The lunar city is expected to be fully functional and self-sufficient, and people can either settle permanently or take a vacation. However, he also stressed that sending people to Mars is much more difficult because the journey takes longer, but SpaceX plans to send people to Mars within five years, and is expected to send thousands of people there within the next 10 to 12 years. Furthermore, he also made a more clear commitment to expanding the space data center, saying that SpaceX will launch the first batch of artificial intelligence satellites next year, followed by large-scale deployment within the next two years.
