Elon Musk stated that SpaceX is part of a much broader mission: securing a strong future for human civilization. He acknowledged that the technological challenges are enormous, but maintained that the central goal of his companies is to increase the probability that humanity will have a great long-term future.
According to Musk, SpaceX aims to expand life and consciousness beyond Earth by advancing rocket technology to take humanity first to the Moon, then to Mars, and eventually to other star systems. He emphasized that life and consciousness are fragile and unique, and that precisely because we do not know whether life exists elsewhere in the universe, it is essential to protect them and expand them beyond our planet.
