Elon Musk once again unveils the "Moon City" blueprint: SpaceX aims to build a self-sustaining base within 10 years
February 9 News, Elon Musk stated that SpaceX is advancing a new deep space strategy with the goal of building a "self-growing city" on the Moon within the next 10 years as an important starting point for humanity's move toward a multi-planetary civilization. This concept is seen as a key turning point in his long-term space colonization plan.
Musk pointed out that compared to Mars, which has a launch window only once every 26 months and requires several months for a one-way trip, the Moon has clear advantages in travel and supply efficiency. Rockets can achieve high-frequency round trips, making the transportation of building materials, energy systems, and personnel rotations more flexible, thereby accelerating infrastructure development. He emphasized that the Moon base will not only serve as a scientific outpost but also become a "self-sufficient city prototype" with manufacturing and expansion capabilities.
