    Elon Musk

    The moon landing was an exciting and phenomenal event, but a mars landing
    would be even more exciting for humanity. "In college, I wanted to be
    involved in things that would change the world. Now I am ." These are the
    words of the man behind the dream and ambition to land on Mars under the
    SpaceX Program.

    Good morning everyone, my name is Daniyal Naveed and today me and my


    group will talk about Elon Musk.

    Elon Reeve Musk, a Canadian-American inventor, engineer, investor, and


    business magnate.
    Some of his achievements are:

     He cofounded the electronic payment firm PayPal.

     In 2002 he founded SpaceX, a company that makes rockets and


    spacecraft.

     He was a major early funder of Tesla, which makes electric cars and
    batteries, and became its chief executive officer in 2008.

     He purchased the social media service Twitter in 2022.

    In May 2017, Musk was awarded the Oslo Business for Peace Award. In 2018,
    Musk was ranked 25th on Forbes list of The World's Most Powerful People.
    Musk was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2018. Listed among
    the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2010, 2013, 2018 and
    2021.
    How can his ahievements help us and the planet?
    SpaceX:
    SpaceX has already made history, becoming the first private company to
    deliver a reusable spacecraft to the International Space Station. SpaceX's
    unmanned Dragon capsule first visited the orbiting lab on a demonstration
    mission in May 2012 and has completed two bona fide cargo runs since. The
    company holds a $1.6 billion contract with NASA to make 12 such flights
    with Dragon and its Falcon 9 rocket. Musk has said repeatedly that he founded
    SpaceX primarily to help humanity become a multiplanet species.

    Colonizing Mars?
    Musk has said he hopes to send astronauts to Mars in the next 10 to 20 years.
    And last November, he laid out his vision for establishing a huge Red Planet
    colony that could one day support up to 80,000 people.
    Musk hopes SpaceX can help get the ball rolling toward such a settlement by
    ferrying explorers to the Red Planet for perhaps $500,000 per trip. Developing
    reliable, reusable rockets will be key to making all of this happen, he said.
    "Our ultimate objective is Mars, and it always has been," Musk told
    LiveScience's sister site SPACE.com last year in a video interview. "But in
    order to revolutionize space, we absolutely must have a fully and rapidly
    reusable rocket. This is basically the holy grail of rocket technology."

    Making electric cars cool


    Musk has a long-held interest in electric-vehicle technology, and in 2003, he
    co-founded Tesla Motors, which manufactures electric cars and the battery
    packs that power them.
    Tesla is helping many people view electric cars in a new light. For example,
    the company's Model S sedan was named 2013 Car of the Year by both Motor
    Trend and Automobile Magazine. One version of the Model S can go from 0
    to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.0 seconds, according to Motor Trend.
    The company is expanding rapidly. In May, officials announced that Tesla had
    already paid off the entire loan it received from the U.S. Department of Energy
    in 2010, nine years ahead of schedule. The firm also notched profits in the first
    and second quarters of 2013.

    Renewable energy
    Musk's interest in electric cars stems in part from his concern about the effects
    of climate change, so it makes sense that he's involved with a big renewable-
    energy venture.
    Musk serves as chairman of SolarCity, which designs and installs clean-energy
    systems for households, businesses, universities and other organizations. The
    firm, which was founded in 2006, has thousands of customers across 14 states,
    according to its website.
