Liu Qingpeng from Fujian Province was one of the beneficiaries of the Aerospace Volunteer Io, he was still working in Fujian, and he saw a special advertisement from Future 10
[Celestial Trade has issued a lunar colonization plan and is recruiting volunteers around the world!]
This advertisement reminded him of the Mars colonization plan announced by spaceX several years ago In the next 15 to 20 years, spaceX planned to send 80,000 volunteers to Mars for colonization, and volunteers would be living a self-sufficient life on Mars…
It sounded surreal
After all, trips to the lunar colonies that ithin reach hadn’t been completed Not to mention, Mars was 55to the plan issued by spaceX, each volunteer had to self-raise 500,000 US Dollar in travel expenses
It wasn’t soopportunity
However, this advertiselued his eyes to the screen
