Space X founder and CEO Elon Musk laid out more details about his space travels to Mars in order to eventually support human civilization on the red planet - during a Reddit Ask me Anything (AMA) session on Sunday.

At an international space conference in Mexico last month, Elon Musk's ambitious plans were laid out, including using reusable rockets to launch a fleet of spaceships to establish a base on the Red Planet, which would create a colony with more than 1 million people over the course of 100 years. Musk hopes to launch an unmanned mission as soon as 2018 and a manned mission in 2024, as reported by Market Watch.

On the Ask me Anything (AMA) sessions on Sunday, Musk said the first-time manned mission will be with about dozen of people, and would create a base with a propellant plant for refueling. His envisions Mars settlers living in carbon-glass-fiber geodesic domes with robots for mining and tunneling. In a question from the audience, Elon Musk said," we will give more details in "a year or two" after live locks up "have been built."

On the so-called Interplanetary Transport System, Musk also answered a number of technical questions. The maximum numbers go for the spacecraft 5g's normally, but able to withstand two to three times that; with the comparisons of the massive planned rocket to the current Falcon 9 (it won't come in quite as hot and fast as Falcon).

The project's next biggest hurdle is to create a new metal that is extremely resistant to oxidation for the hot oxygen- rich turbo-pump, reported by V, reported by VB

However, unmanned vehicles are already part of NASA's Mars research, the 2012 Curiosity rover is being the most appropriate example. Space X's current Falcon 9 rocket is also unmanned. So this wouldn't be unprecedented, but it would definitely represent a new layer of autonomy for Space X's interplanetary initiative.  

Elon Musk has given further details of his vision on Mars. This wills eventually support human civilization on the Red planet.
