Feeling that this is of utmost importance to humanity, Musk explains:
Do we want a future when we’re
forever confined to one planet until some
eventual extinction event… Or do we want to become a multi-planet species?
Musk votes a hearty “Yes!” for the latter. He intends to personally visit the International
Space Station within the next five years. If this seems like a lofty goal, Musk begs to differ. “It’s not
that hard to float around,” he says.
This might be the case (or not), but landing a rocket could be a whole lot tougher. Musk’s most recent attempt to land a Space X rocket “on a floating platform known as a droneship” went up in flames.
