SpaceX founder Elon Musk has spun his latest talk about Mars colonization into a second academic study. Musk's full paper, titled "Making Life Multi-Planetary," was published online this month by the journal New Space. It's currently available to read for free.

"You want to wake up in the morning and think the future is going to be great - and that's what being a spacefaring civilization is all about," reads the beginning of the study. "It's about believing in the future and thinking that the future will be better than the past. And I can't think of anything more exciting than going out there and being among the stars."

If that line sounds familiar, that's because it comes from Musk's October 2017 presentation to the International Astronautical Congress. In fact, the entire study closely follows that talk, though some new details and images have been added. Musk followed the same process after he debuted his preliminary Mars colonization plans at the IAC in September 2016 - he later published a 2017 paper outlining those plans in New Space.

Thx for another informative post. Easy to read.
Please continue up with creating interesting content - it may be hard at the beginning to build reach and solid followers base.
Steemits needs solid content builders so just dont ever give up! :)

Thanks a lot. I will do my best to get quality contents for steemit. I got a new post about the China space ship falling back to earth: https://steemit.com/space/@richardgerald/china-s-space-lab-may-make-later-return

Thanks for the link, that's a really interesting paper. Did you consider adding #spaceflight tag to your post? Finding spaceflight related posts among common space tag is difficult.

I will consider using it in my new posts. Thanks
