SpaceX; Mark Brake/Getty Images; Business Insider Elon Musk said Tuesday he is "highly confident" SpaceX will land humans on Mars in 2026 — two years later than he previously hoped. In 2017, Musk said that he wanted SpaceX to send unmanned ships to Mars in 2022, followed by a crewed mission two years later. Musk told Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner on Tuesday that he could make his own first trip to orbit in "possibly two or three years." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk spoke at the 67th International Astronautical Congress, where he presented the Interplanetary Transport System, or ITS - his plan on how to send humans to Mars. Musk showed CAD models of the ITS spaceship-rocket hybrid and explained that the ITS is supposed to be able to carry up to 100 people to Mars per flight, with each flight expected to take 80 days. The first flights are slated to take place by the mid-2020s. The SpaceX founder estimates that in 40-100 years it would be possible to establish an independent colony on the Red Planet. Musk assessed that if 1 million people signed up for the flights, the tickets to Mars could be sold for around $200,000.

Susan Walsh/AP; Erin Scott/Reuters There's no love lost between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. The billionaire tech CEOs — who helm Tesla and SpaceX, and Facebook, respectively — have been feuding since at least 2016, when a SpaceX rocket explosion destroyed a Facebook satellite. Since then, they've butted heads over everything from artificial intelligence to Facebook's data-collection practices. Most recently, Musk tied Facebook to the violent insurrection in Washington, DC, describing it as a "domino effect." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
