SpaceX Focus Shifts To Moon City

SpaceX is now prioritising plans to build what Elon Musk describes as a “self-growing city” on the Moon, placing it ahead of its long-stated ambition to establish a settlement on Mars.

A Public Reordering Of Priorities

Elon Musk announced on X that SpaceX is focusing first on the Moon rather than Mars. He wrote: “For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.”
