Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars with SpaceX.




Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of SpaceX, is presenting an updated plan for colonizing Mars with 1 million people.

The International Astronautical Congress in Adelaide, Australia, hosted Musk's presentation on Friday, and SpaceX is streaming video of the event via a YouTube Live feed.

Musk tweeted on Monday that he'll unveil "major improvements" and "unexpected applications" in the talk, which is an update to his one-hour presentation at last year's IAC in Guadalajara, Mexico - when he revealed his Mars vehicle design.

"This should be worth seeing," Musk tweeted before his IAC 2017 talk. "Design feels right."

Here are the highlights of Musk's latest presentation.
