Elon Musk's SpaceX Shifts Focus to Building Self-Growing City on Moon

• Elon Musk's SpaceX is now prioritizing building a "self-growing human city" on the Moon, aiming for completion in under 10 years.
• Musk states the Moon is more practical than Mars due to frequent launch windows (every 10 days) and shorter travel times (2 days).
• Mars missions, though not abandoned, are now a secondary focus, with plans to begin settlements there in 5-7 years.
• SpaceX informed investors of this shift, targeting an un-crewed Moon landing by March 2027.
• The move comes as the US faces competition from China in lunar exploration, with no human on the Moon since 1972.
