California: Elon Musk's ambitious space plans are no secret. His company, Space X, is working tirelessly to one day send humans to the space. In the usual Twitter chatter, Musk revealed how much a ticket to Mars could cost when the mission goes live.

In a response to a tweet asking the estimated costs for tickets to Moon/Mars accounting for re-usability , Musk replied that the costs are dependent on volume. However, he is confident that moving to Mars will one day cost less than USD $500,000 or even below USD $100,000, inclusive of a free return ticket.

Musk considers this cost low enough for people in advanced economies to sell their home on Earth and move to the Red Planet if they so wish.

Although moving to Mars is the ambitious mission, Musk's teams are prioritizing Moon as a habitable alternative to Earth.
