Solar Power for Everyone, or a Brand New House on Mars?
“Zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds, 250-MPH top speed, 620 mile range” (Siler 1). Those are only a few descriptions of the sleek 2017 Tesla roadster created by the company owned by Elon Musk. Musk is an entrepreneur and businessman born and raised in Africa. He attended numerous schools, the most notable of them being the Wharton School of Business.

SpaceX is revolutionizing rocket travel without any help from other companies. “It will be the first reusable orbital rocket and one of the most significant developments since the dawn of rocketry” (Esquire 2). The “It” being mentioned is Musk’s Falcon 9 rocket which is the only of its kind, and will help SpaceX reduce costs and achieve a higher amount of flights in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, the rocket will produce significantly less waste than a conventional rocket would, and all because of the ability to reuse a single stage of the rocket. One of most anticipated, and hopeful results of space travel is that of the ability to hold a base on another planet. “The next big moment will be life becoming multiplanetary, an unprecedented adventure that would dramatically enhance the richness and diversity of our collective consciousness” (Esquire 1). Reaching other planets would open a plethora of opportunities, one of which would be the capability to launch rockets to other planets to further increase our reach as a species. Musk’s main goal in the creation of SpaceX is to reach Mars to build his very own planetary base and plans to achieve this goal before 2025, which is harshly criticized and is often thought impossible to achieve. While Musk’s ideas may be condemned more often than not, that will not stop him from trying to make profound changes to
