January 22, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Elon Musk said SpaceX’s founding goal is to maximize civilization’s future. The company is advancing rocket technology to enable extending life and consciousness beyond Earth—reaching the Moon, Mars, and eventually other galaxies. “Consciousness and the unknown darkness are unstable and delicate, and we should always view them that way,” Musk noted. Humans don’t know if aliens exist, he added. “The bottom line: we should assume life and consciousness are extremely rare—maybe only here on Earth. If that’s true, we need to do everything to keep the light of consciousness from going out; humanity is a small candle in a vast darkness. That’s why it’s critical to pave the way for life to survive on multiple planets—so consciousness can persist if a natural or man-made disaster hits Earth. That’s SpaceX’s purpose.”
