"I don't think there's really a viable case for colonizing Mars until after we after we get a supply chain established," he said. [How Will a Human Mars Base Work? NASA's Vision in Images] This supply chain, Metzger said, will consist of three "killer apps" — profitable ventures ...
"We think this is a key steppingstone towards establishing a self-sustaining city on Mars and a base on the moon," Musk said of Starlink. "We believe we can use the revenue from Starlink to fund Starship." Starship is the reusable, 100-passenger spaceship that SpaceX is developing to fe...
