00:02SpaceX is shifting its near-term focus to building a self-growing city on the moon,
00:07Elon Musk said Sunday in posts on X.
00:10Musk said SpaceX has already pivoted toward developing a lunar city
00:13and estimates it could be completed in less than 10 years,
00:17compared with 20 years or more for Mars.
00:19He said Mars launch windows occur once every 26 months with roughly 6 months of travel,
00:25while moon missions can launch about every 10 days with a 2-day journey,
00:28allowing faster iteration.
00:30Musk said SpaceX still plans to build a city on Mars
00:33and expects to begin that effort within 5-7 years.
00:37He said the moon is now the priority for securing the future of civilization.
00:41SpaceX is reportedly targeting March 2027 for an uncrewed moon landing.
