SpaceX Shifts Focus Toward Moon City
Elon Musk said on Sunday that SpaceX is shifting focus from Mars to building a "self-growing city" on the Moon, citing faster launch cycles. He noted Moon launches can occur every 10 days with two-day trips versus 26-month Mars windows, and said Mars city work would start in five to seven years. Musk also referenced SpaceX's acquisition of xAI and plans for lunar bases and factories.
