Elon Musk
SpaceX founder Elon Musk in a tweet once again spoke about a "permanent base" on the Moon.
"It's been now almost 1/2 century since humans were last on the Moon. That's too long, we need to get back there," Musk tweeted.
"It's been now almost 1/2 century since humans were last on the moon. That's too long, we need to get back there & have a permanent base — a big permanently occupied base. And then build a city on Mars to become a spacefaring civilization, a multi-planet species”

The Tesla chief went one step further and added "build a city on Mars to become a spacefaring civilization, a multi-planet species.”
It is not the first time Musk, 50, has spoken about a "permanent base" on the Moon. Earlier this year, he had said it was the next logical step for humanity during a video link ata forum in Russia.
