		</div><p>Elon Musk has reiterated his hopes of personally travelling to Mars, claiming there is a “70% chance” he will go to the red planet.</p>
<p>In a new interview for the Axios on HBO documentary series, the SpaceX boss said a “recent number of breakthroughs” had been made that excited him, and he believed made deep space travel more likely during his lifetime.</p>
<p>The billionaire, who also runs car firm Tesla, suggested any journey to Mars would be one-way and that he planned to “move there”. Mr Musk also dismissed suggestions that travel to Mars could be an “escape hatch for rich people”.</p>

<p>“No, your probability of dying on Mars is much higher than Earth. Really, the ad for going to Mars will be like Shackleton’s ad for going to the Antarctic,” he said.</p>
<p>“It’s going to be hard, there’s a good chance of death going in a little can through deep space. You might land successfully. Once you land successfully you’ll be working non-stop to build the base, so there’s not much time for leisure.</p>
<p>“Once you get there, even after doing all this, it’s a very harsh environment so there’s a good chance you die there. We think you can come back but we’re not sure. Does that sound like an escape hatch for rich people?”</p>
<p>Despite these dangers, Mr Musk reiterated his desire to make the trip, saying that like climbing Everest, a key part of the experience was the challenge.</p>
<p>SpaceX is planning its first private passenger trip around the moon in 2023, when Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa – who has paid an undisclosed amount for the honour – will make the journey.</p>
