Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, shared his strategy to establish a human settlement on the fourth planet - Mars - in February this year. In a post on X he wrote, “We are mapping out a game plan to get a million people to Mars. Civilization only passes the single-planet Great Filter when Mars can survive even if Earth supply ships stop coming.” He now has set his eyes on another planet. This time it is the seventh planet- Uranus.

Here’s what people said in the comments section:
“Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun and is about four times the size of Earth. It has a blue-green colour due to methane gas in its atmosphere, and its rotational axis is tilted at an extreme angle of about 98 degrees. Uranus has 27 known moons and a system of faint rings. It was discovered in 1781 by William Herschel and was visited by spacecraft, including Voyager 2, in 1986,” wrote an individual.
