According to Elon Musk, he urged people to devote one percent of their efforts to the creation of multiplanetary life. He said, “In my opinion, it is well worth the effort.”
“I firmly believe that we should focus 99% of our efforts on Earth, and in fact, we do focus 99.9% of our efforts there.
“However, I believe it is worthwhile to propose that we take one percent of the population and work towards the establishment of a self-sustaining metropolis on Mars and the creation of life on several planets.
“I believe there are several compelling reasons for it to further exacerbate the situation.”
In the first place, there is always the possibility of some horrific event taking place on Earth that people would not have anticipated.
“In addition, if you look at the fossil record and consider that there have been five major extinction events in the last 500 million years, you may wonder what happened to the dinosaurs.”
“This is where they used to be. It is no longer possible to find them.
“Here’s the defensive argument, shall we?
“And then came the thrill or inspiration argument.”
“Building a city on Mars would be an example.
“In addition, I believe that having this amazing trip would be similar to that,” Elon added during a conversation with a Chinese television station in 2015.
Elon Musk maintains that the move is possible, and for the first time in 4.5 billion years, life can become multiplanetary.
