  • Marks talks about interplanetary travel. Commercial space-flight mogul Elon Musk has quipped that he would like to die on Mars--just not on impact. The quote highlights his desire to build reliable, affordable spacecraft that could one day carry the first people to land on the Red Planet. Musk isn't the only one dreaming of interplanetary travel. Two weeks ago, multimillionaire Dennis Tito announced Inspiration Mars, a plan to send a married couple on a round-trip fly-by past Mars by 2018 using SpaceX technology.
