ELON MUSK WANTS TO BUILD A CITY ON MARS BY 2050, AND HE'S EVEN GOT AN IDEA FOR THE FLAG.
On Friday, the SpaceX CEO suggested a dramatic photo of a company launch showing a Falcon 9 rocket soaring into the air against the Sun could be the flag of Mars.
Musk responded via Twitter to the photo, posted by photographer John Kraus, which shows the Falcon 9 sending up 60 satellites for the firm's Starlink internet connectivity constellation.
The exchange highlights why SpaceX's Mars city could be more than just an outpost for astronauts. Musk has outlined plans to build the Starship rocket and send humans to Mars as early as 2024, establishing basic life support systems there before expanding out further.
But experts have described to Inverse how the nascent city will have to consider emergent questions of identity, new economic systems, and biological changes from radiation. In this new city, a flag could act as a rallying point for a new community.
