Elon Musk admitted meeting with aliens during space exploration

American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk said that in the course of space exploration, humanity may encounter extraterrestrial civilizations. He said this on February 12 during a speech, the recording of which was published on his page on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

"I can't imagine anything more grandiose than a massive flight to the moon, and then a flight further to Mars, a journey through our entire Solar System and, ultimately, a flight to other star systems. Maybe we'll meet some aliens. Maybe we'll see civilizations that have existed for millions of years and find the remains of ancient alien civilizations," Musk said.

In his opinion, to implement such plans, it is necessary to create cities on the Moon, as well as develop special launchers, which he called "catapults." It is assumed that such systems will launch satellites with artificial intelligence (AI) for space exploration.

Musk stressed that further exploration of the Solar System and beyond its limits open up unprecedented prospects for humanity.

On February 11, Elon Musk announced the operation of a future city on the moon powered by solar energy. In his opinion, a self-developing city on the Moon is possible in less than 10 years, whereas it will take more than 20 years to appear on Mars.

The billionaire announced his intention to build cities on the Moon and Mars on February 8. He said that the opportunity to fly to the Earth's satellite will be supposedly every 10 days, and to the neighboring planet — every 26 months.
