The long-term goal of the aerospace company SpaceX is to develop interstellar travel and enable humanity to venture beyond the Solar System, with the potential to encounter extraterrestrial life. This was stated by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk during a presentation at one of the company’s facilities in Texas, according to Fox.

“I’ll tell you the goal of SpaceX. We want to make ‘Star Trek’ a reality,” the entrepreneur said.

Musk noted that in the future, it will be possible to regularly travel to the Moon and other planets, and eventually to other stars. The billionaire added that humanity will not only be able to explore other worlds, but also potentially encounter aliens or their civilizations.
