Last two years have been pretty rough on everyone ever since the pandemic slowed life around. With just a few weeks to go for the new year, people still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that 2021 is already over.
Just like us, the world’s richest man, Elon Musk is finding it hard to believe that this year is already over (almost!).
The year raced from January to December so quick that the Space X and Tesla boss is already looking forward to the future… and not just 2022 but 2031!
Yes, the billionaire is already looking forward to 2023 and wonders what the future will look like. Musk took to his official Twitter account to share his surprise on how quickly this year passed us by, with just a few days to go for 2022 and asked his 66.2 million fans “what 2023 will be like?”
For Musk, who seems very optimistic, tomorrow looks “futuristic” and possibly also full of space travel.
The SpaceX founder has often spoken about his dream on bringing life to Mars from Earth and building cities on the red planet.
Well, the business tycoon is already developing a vehicle called ‘Starship’, which can carry up to 100 people on missions to the moon and Mars.
“Will we be on Mars?” the Tesla boss asked his followers.
Wow, only three weeks to 2022! What will 2032 will be like? Seems so futuristic!Will we be on Mars?

Musk had earlier announced that his team is building the vehicle in a launchpad in Florida. According to a recent report in Space.com, SpaceX will try to fly a Starship into orbit for the first time early 2022, if all goes according to the plan.
Starships to ♥️ Mars ♥️

Musk is targeting January or February for its first Starship orbital launch attempt, and the initial landmark leap will eventually be followed by a number of others shortly thereafter, the report further said.
So far, SpaceX has launched a handful of test flights with Starship prototypes from its ‘Starbase’ facility, which is near the South Texas village of Boca Chica, but those hops reached a maximum altitude of about 6 miles (10 kilometres) and featured vehicles with just three engines.
