Now, while talking at the Humans to Mars summit, Musk has warned that establishing a human colony on Mars will be very challenging, and it may even result in the deaths of Earthlings on the Red Planet.

Musk, during his talk, revealed that the journey to Mars will not be a hard task, but setting up a self-sustained colony will be challenging. The SpaceX founder also warned that the upcoming manned mission to Mars is not designed for the faint-hearted, as there are chances for losing their lives during the trip.

“I want to emphasize that this is a very hard and dangerous difficult thing. Not for the faint of heart. Good chance you’ll die, it’s going to be tough going, but it will be pretty glorious if it works out,” said Musk, as quoted by CNBC.

Elon Musk has previously revealed that the future government which will be set up on Mars will be based on direct democracy. He also made it clear that all Martians will have a direct role in determining the decision-making process of the government. Musk is now planning to put a million people on Mars by 2050, but many skeptics consider this timeline an unrealistic one.

It should be noted that this will be the first rover from China that will land on Mars, and with this move, the country plans to join the elite league of countries that had landed on Mars. As of now, only the United States and the Soviet Union had succeeded in landing their rovers on Mars.

Tianwen means ‘question to heaven’ in the Chinese language, and it is also the name of a poem written by Chinese poet Qu Yuan.

“The Tianwen-1 probe, with a mass (including fuel) of about 5 tonnes, comprises an orbiter and a lander/rover composite. The orbiter will provide a relay communication link to the rover, while performing its own scientific observations for one Martian year,” said the mission chief scientist in a report published in the Journal Nature Astronomy.

Recently, several studies had suggested that Mars once had the right conditions to host life. Some studies even hinted that Mars once had a healthy river system, where liquid water flowed across the surface of the Red Planet. Several space scientists believe that this upcoming Chinese mission could shed light on possible alien life that might have thrived on Mars in the ancient days.
