For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.
@US_Emb_Burundi These kinds of meetings are very important as they encourage and nurture bonds of cooperation between the two countries, their peoples and the alumni themselves. We should have them on a regular basis in a convened period of time depending on the agendas and the logistical means.
The Public Diplomacy Section hosted a business lunch under the theme “Empowered Alumni, Stronger Relationships: Driving Development and U.S. Foreign Policy.” ✨
Ten U.S. Government exchange alumni joined Embassy staff to share how their experiences in the U.S. continue to inspire leadership and drive change in Burundi. From launching entrepreneurship incubators and strengthening health systems 🏥 to advancing education, championing disability rights, improving community security🚓, and combating gender-based violence, their impact reaches thousands nationwide.
With a shared commitment to mentorship, community outreach, and joint initiatives, these alumni are living proof of how international exchanges create lasting collaboration that fuel sustainable development. 🤝
