Elon Musk Hopes to Die on Mars, and He May Be One of the Pioneering Colonists.
Elon Musk has already started to dream of going to Mars with SpaceX’s Starship before it even made its first orbital flight. The visionary CEO said that he can see himself participating in a colonizing mission once his children have grown up.

Musk mentioned his young son, the Canadian artist Grimes (XAE A-12), as one reason why he isn’t yet ready to board a spaceship bound for Earth’s neighbor.
