## MARS COLONIZATION - THE COMPLETE TIMELINE

### 2024-2026: PREPARATION PHASE

Starship Development - SpaceX testing orbital flights, landing, refueling. Critical for Mars missions.
First Cargo Mission - Uncrewed Starships to Mars carrying supplies. Testing landing systems.

### 2028-2030: FIRST HUMANS

SpaceX Target - First crewed mission to Mars. 4-6 astronauts. ~6 month journey.
Initial Base - Starship becomes habitat. Basic life support, power generation.
Stay Duration - 26 months (must wait for planets to align for return).

### 2030s: BUILDING THE BASE

Regular Missions - Multiple Starships every 26 months during launch windows.
ISRU - In-Situ Resource Utilization. Making fuel, water, oxygen from Mars materials.
Growing Population - Dozens, then hundreds of people. First permanent settlers.
Infrastructure - Habitats, greenhouses, mining operations, power grid.

### 2040s-2050s: CITY BUILDING

Musk's Vision - 1 million people on Mars by 2050. Self-sustaining city.
Requirements - 1,000+ Starships. Massive industrial capability on Mars.
Terraforming Begins? - Very long-term. Warming the planet, thickening atmosphere.

### THE CHALLENGES

Radiation - No magnetic field. Cosmic rays and solar storms dangerous. Underground living?
Gravity - 38% of Earth. Effects on bones, muscles, childbirth unknown long-term.
Psychology - Isolation, confinement, no real-time Earth communication.
Resources - Everything must be made locally eventually. Truly self-sufficient.

### HOW TO BECOME A MARS COLONIST

- SpaceX will need engineers, doctors, farmers, builders
- Technical skills valuable: engineering, medicine, geology
- Mental resilience critical - isolation, danger, no return
- Physical fitness requirements unknown but likely strict
- Apply when SpaceX opens applications (expected late 2020s)
