Elon Musk recently shared details on Twitter about his plans to send 1 million people to Mars by 2050.

The SpaceX founder said there would be “a lot of jobs” in the city he hopes to build on Mars.

Musk said he planned to build a fleet of 1,000 Starships -he 387-foot rocket ship that SpaceX is

developing for deep-space travel – and launch three of them each day.

In a series of tweets on Thursday, Elon Musk revealed new details

about his plan to build a city of 1 million people on Mars by 2050.

Musk said he hoped to build 1,000 Starships – the towering and

ostensibly fully reusable spaceship that SpaceX is developing in South Texas – over 10 years. That’s 100 Starships per year.

Eventually, Musk added, the goal is to launch an average of three Starships per day and make the trip to Mars available to anybody.

“Needs to be such that anyone can go if they want, with loans available for those who don’t have money,” Musk wrote.

Not enough to convince you to leave Earth behind?

“There will be a lot of jobs on Mars!” he added.

Fleets of Starships to make humans multiplanetary

Starship, if realized as designed, would be the most powerful launch system ever created; each launch would pack enough thrust to send more than 100 tons (about seven fully loaded school buses’ worth of mass) and 100 people into orbit at a time.

Musk didn’t specify what exactly the rockets would need to carry to Mars, but a lot of food, water, building materials, tools, and advanced life-support systems are a given. Thus, he estimated he would need a whole fleet of Starships to build a permanent settlement.
