Jonathan Nolan:

What issues should our next generation of leaders be focused on solving? What else is coming down the line?

Elon Musk:

There’s likely to be we don’t know, but there’s likely to be another dark ages, which then we want to make sure that there’s enough of us of a seed of human civilization somewhere else to bring civilization back

and perhaps shorten the length of the dark ages. I think that’s why that it’s important to get a self-sustaining base, ideally on Mars, because Mars is far enough away from us that if that weren’t Earth, the Mars base might survive, is more likely to survive than a moon base. But I think a moon base and a mars base that that could perhaps help regenerate life back here on Earth would be really important. And I’d get that done before possible World War Three.
