Elon Musk Enroute to Mars
On February 6th, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk sent his old red Tesla Roadster into orbit to the Asteroid Belt, complete with a mannequin driver dubbed “Starman” and David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” playing on an endless loop. The SpaceX CEO, listed by Forbes magazine as the 53rd richest man in the world, has become obsessed with establishing a colony on Mars, and has spent a considerable amount of his vast fortune, estimated at nearly $21 billion, on achieving that goal.
