Father of 12 Elon Musk Offers His Sperm for Colony on Mars
Elon Musk has reportedly offered his own sperm to scientists to help colonize Mars in an attempt to fulfill his lifelong goal of inhabiting the distant planet.
According to documents obtained by The New York Times, the SpaceX founder, 53, is ordering teams to create plans to design and build a Martian city and dome habitats. Employees told the Times that Musk has ordered a team to make a spacesuit fit for Mars’ inhospitable environment and a medical team to research whether humans can procreate on Mars. Musk offered his own sperm for the research, sources told the paper.
Musk has fathered 12 children already, six with first wife Justine Wilson, one of whom died in infancy; three with former girlfriend Grimes; and three with top Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
