Elon Musk’s Vision: Mars Missions with AI and Investment Potential
Hello, Reader.
The phrase “the sky is the limit” suggests that goals should be expansive and achievable. It implies that there are no barriers among the clouds. While this sentiment may be uplifting, its origins trace back to a 1908 publication, pointing to its limitations.
Sixty years following its inception, NASA made history with the Apollo 11 mission, taking humanity beyond the sky to the moon. In our Thursday’s Smart Money edition, we examined the subsequent rise of space stocks. This trend appears to be resuming with a focus on AI stocks.
Fast forward another 60 years, and the moon is again not the limit, according to Elon Musk.
Recently, Musk announced on X that his flagship spacecraft, Starship from SpaceX, plans to embark on a mission to Mars by the end of 2026. Remarkably, its passenger is set to be an AI-powered humanoid robot from Tesla Inc. (TSLA).
Additionally, Musk is making strides in the U.S. government, acting as a senior advisor under President Donald Trump and overseeing efficiency initiatives aimed at cutting costs and jobs.
With a foothold in both private enterprise and government policy, Musk’s influence is significant.
In today’s Smart Money, we will explore Musk’s ambitions for Mars and the investment opportunities arising from them.
Furthermore, I’ll share insights on another innovative venture by Musk that could yield substantial returns for those poised to act.
Out of Science Fiction
Musk’s ambition for Mars has deep roots. Since 2001, he has championed the cause of sending humans to the “fourth rock from the sun,” initially taking part in the Mars Society, a group advocating for human exploration and settlement of the planet.
This aspiration materialized as SpaceX’s mission: to create a self-sustaining human presence on Mars, thereby making humanity a multiplanetary species.
The aspiration is bold, and the necessary infrastructure is also in place.
Starting in 2010, SpaceX has launched its Falcon 9 rocket, a reusable, two-stage vehicle designed to transport cargo and passengers into space. This innovation significantly lowered launch costs, with 447 successful missions accomplished to date.
The Dragon spacecraft also debuted in 2010 and is capable of carrying up to seven astronauts to and from Earth’s orbit. Notably, it was the first private spacecraft to transport humans to the International Space Station (ISS), recently returning astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore after their mission.
Starship, the latest advancement from SpaceX, is designed to transport 100 individuals on interplanetary flights. Its utility extends to satellite deliveries, lunar base development, and even terrestrial transport. With its unmatched payload capacity, Starship is set to transform the logistics of space travel.
Musk’s plan to dispatch humanoid robots to Mars further positions him at the forefront of space exploration.
His track record is notable, having disrupted industries through PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL) and Tesla, demonstrating that his companies don’t just create products; they redefine sectors.
SpaceX’s Explosive Growth
SpaceX’s rapid rise has established it as a leading player in American space exploration, driven in part by its partnerships with NASA. Musk’s role in government may only enhance these opportunities further.
Assuming everything proceeds as planned, human missions to Mars could occur within the next five years.
However, the greatest opportunity with SpaceX may lie elsewhere.
Taking center stage is Starlink, SpaceX’s broadband satellite network. Utilizing its groundbreaking reusable rocket technology, SpaceX has successfully deployed 7,000 Starlink satellites and continues to launch approximately 60 per week, providing services in 114 countries.
Starlink has amassed around 5 million users, and given there are 5.5 billion internet users globally, the growth potential remains immense. The previous year saw Starlink double its customer base.
This week, it’s noteworthy that Starlink satellites were officially set up in the White House.
Investing in SpaceX now could place you at the forefront of what could emerge as a new internet powerhouse.
As more satellites are launched, I anticipate significant improvements and price reductions in its service, ultimately leading to substantial share gains for SpaceX.
The challenge is that SpaceX is privately held, making investment access difficult for all except the wealthy or those with connections in Silicon Valley.
Nonetheless, I have identified a method for regular investors to engage with this transformative company. Details on this opportunity can be found in my latest report, How to Become Elon Musk’s Partner in SpaceX, which you can access in my free special broadcast.
Musk’s innovations don’t stop there.
He is also focusing on another project centered around the pursuit of superintelligent AI—coined by me as “Apollo 2.0.”
Whether one appreciates or criticizes him, Musk continuously translates visionary concepts into groundbreaking ventures that promise investment returns.
