Chapter 1786 (1/2)

Li Mu has invested in SpaceX in the past, but that investment is only based on the research and development of recoverable launch vehicles based on SpaceX, and does not include anything related to the colonization of Mars.

If the whole Mars colony is a huge commercial real estate project, the most recyclable rocket is also a salesroom of this commercial real estate project.

According to Elon Musk, if you want to colonize Mars, you need to first study the heavy-duty recoverable rocket, and then study the heavy-duty spacecraft and all kinds of hardware needed to survive on Mars.

But that's not enough.

If you want to send people and things to Mars, you have to get a space station.

This is really a capital black hole. How much money you spend may not be worth listening to.

However, at this moment, Li Mu suddenly moved his heart.

He would like to try to see if I can do something better, such as sending people to Mars.

As a world-class rich man, he also cares about how he will be remembered in the future.

In the world's rich circle, there are many predecessors who are remembered by the world.

These people are remembered differently.

Some are remembered for changing the world;

some for exploiting the world;

some for naked donation;

some for divorce from his wife;

some for using real estate to drink up the blood of the young generation.

Li Mu is willing to do more charity, do something really meaningful, teach people to fish, rather than give people to fish charity.

Besides charity, he wants to change the world.

He has the world's largest communication software, the world's largest social network, and the world's largest smartphone ecosystem in the future, which will change the world to a large extent.

Now, inspired by Elon Musk, he has a new idea.

He wants to be remembered by the world through space exploration.

So he said to Elon Musk, ”Elon, if I invest 10 billion dollars in the next decade, can you lead the world, send people to Mars safely, and bring them back safely?”

When Elon Musk heard this, he was excited. He looked at Li Mu incredulously and exclaimed, ”President Li, would you like to invest in the Mars project?”

Li Mu said, ”don't worry if I want to, I'll ask you, if I invest 10 billion dollars in ten years, can you land on Mars?”

Elon Musk thought for a moment and said, ”the Apollo program in the 1960s in the United States cost a total of 100 billion dollars, and at that time, 100 billion dollars, the purchasing power is at least now...”
