Irrespective of whether Men are from Mars or not, they sure intend to get to the red planet at the earliest. SpaceX founder Elon Musk is all geared to pioneer this trip and get to Mars sooner than later.
Earlier this week, Musk revealed in a Twitter conversation that details about the company's BFR and ITS would be out soon.
@RITSPEX Almost there. Probably in a few months.

BFR is short for Big F**king Rocket , the rocket and ITS stands for Interplanetary Transport System, which is supposed to be a reusable spacecraft. These two comprise SpaceX's transport system for their mission to colonise the neighbouring red planet.
While the spacecraft, formerly known as the Mars Colonial Transporter, will ferry humans to planet M for $200,000 a head, the rocket will be the most powerful rocket ever built as it is supposedly bigger than the Falcon 9 and more powerful than the Falcon Heavy, reports Futurism.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
