00:00Elon Musk warns, Earth has just 10% of its lifespan left, urges Mars colonization as

00:06life insurance for humanity.

00:09Elon Musk plans to build a city of 1 million people on Mars by 2050.

00:14He argues Earth is in the last 10% of its lifespan due to the Sun's expansion, making

00:19space colonization urgent, not optional.

00:26Elon Musk refers to Mars colonization as life insurance for humanity, aiming to safeguard

00:31civilization from future planetary threats.

00:34He emphasizes the need for a fully self-sustaining colony, one that doesn't rely on Earth for

00:38supplies to truly protect against existential threats like natural disasters or technological

00:44collapse.

00:49Astrophysicists agree that the Sun will one day destroy Earth.

00:52In 500 million years, oceans may boil and the atmosphere vanish.

00:57In 5 billion years, the red giant Sun could engulf Earth, making the planet uninhabitable.

01:03Musk's SpaceX is investing billions into Starship rockets to prepare for Mars.

01:08While the Sun's destruction is distant, threats like asteroids or nuclear war could strike sooner,

01:14justifying the need to establish life beyond Earth now.

01:17NASA has long studied Mars due to its potential to support life.

01:21The quest to colonize it mirrors the Moon race, fueling new technology and offering insights

01:26into Earth's origins, survival and the future of interplanetary life.

01:31Musk's 2050 Mars City goal is bold but seen as possible by some experts.

01:36Others, like neuroscientist Rachel Seidler, call it unrealistic due to the immense challenges

01:41of creating a livable, independent habitat so far from Earth.

01:46Critics say fixing Earth's problems should come first.

01:49Musk argues that both can happen together.

01:52Mars colonization might spur innovations that also help our planet, making space exploration

01:57not just science fiction, but a long-term survival strategy.
