Space X founder Elon Musk is considering moving to Mars, and gives himself a 70% chance of doing so, according to The Guardian.

“I know exactly what to do,” the billionaire Tesla founder told Axios on HBO, in an interview to be broadcast on Sunday night. “I’m talking about moving there.”
He also implied that such a move might be permanent, saying: “We think you can come back but we’re not sure.”

Musk, 47, has spoken about his ambition to travel to Mars before. Speaking to Axios, he named the odds – a 70% chance – that he will live to ride one of his SpaceX rockets and explore the red planet.
Musk, who has had a difficult year as his erratic behaviour has fuelled social media storms and fluctuations in the share prices of his companies, said he knew travelling to Mars could prove fatal.
“Your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than on Earth,” he said, adding: “It’s gonna be hard. There’s a good chance of death, going in a little can through deep space.”
