Musk reveals SpaceX prioritizes Moon city with 10 year completion target
Elon Musk announces SpaceX has shifted priority from Mars colonization to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon. The CEO cites logistical advantages, noting Moon missions launch every 10 days with 2-day travel times, compared to Mars' 26-month alignment windows. Musk targets completing the lunar city in under 10 years, while estimating a Mars city requires 20+ years. Reports indicate an uncrewed lunar landing targets March 2027.
