SpaceX plans a self-growing lunar city by 2034, prioritizing the Moon over Mars for near-term human settlement.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has announced that the company is prioritizing the development of a self-growing lunar city within less than a decade, shifting focus from Mars despite long-term plans for Martian settlement.
Musk cited the Moon’s proximity—enabling launches every 10 days and a two-day travel time—as key advantages over Mars, which offers less frequent launch windows every 26 months and a six-month journey.
The goal is to establish a sustainable human presence on the Moon to secure humanity’s future, with an uncrewed Starship landing targeted for March 2027.
This move aligns with NASA’s Artemis program and reflects growing global competition, including China’s lunar ambitions.
SpaceX continues to advance Starship for lunar missions, though technical challenges and regulatory gaps remain.
