Elon Musk is a man of big dreams.
The insanely rich tech-mogul and owner of Tesla, SpaceX and that big F-off battery that’s about to save South Australia from darkness, wants to achieve a lot of things in his lifetime, which let’s face it, will probably be hundreds of years long as he’ll just buy newer and newer body parts.
Exploring and inhabiting the cosmos is one of Elon’s foremost areas of interest and he just finished up a speech in Adelaide today, on just how that shit’s gonna go down. Step 1: we’re gonna live on Mars baby!
To prove the possibility of life on Mars sometime this century, Musk also released some pretty bloody cool pics of what this whole dealio will look like, sharing them via his Instagram this arvo.

MOON. BASE. ALPHA.
Dude isn’t fucking around with the hella sci-fi codenames is he? Imagine typing that into the address bar when you order some new shoes on ASOS. Where do I live, you ask? Oh, just on MOON BASE ALPHA MOTHERFUCKERSSSSS.

And here we see Musk’s idea of Mars City during sunset, which apparently makes everything go all crystal blue, which sounds pretty dope.
Assuming that dome-like thing in the back is the city itself. Everyone make sure Pauly Shore doesn’t get involved though, as we all know how that would pan out.
Here’s some CGI’d to shit ideas of HOW we’d all get there as well:

It’ll be 2028 at the earliest before Musk shoots a bunch of (insane) people to commence living in an orbiting space station around Mars and a good while longer before humans are trotting about on the surface, but pics like these sure do get us pumped for the future in which we can leave this garbage planet behind 5ever.
Space? It’s lit.
