Space Rabbit

"Elon Reeve Musk is a South African, Canadian and American physicist, entrepreneur, inventor and tycoon. Co-founder of Paypal, SpaceX, Hyperlool, SolarCity, The Boring Company, Neuralink and OpenAl. He is CEO of SpaceX, Tesla Motors, president of SolarCity and co-chair of OpenAl "- Wikipedia.

There are people who seem to come from another planet and without a doubt, Elon Musk is one of them. Some think they are time travelers but perhaps they are mere geniuses born to change the course of humanity forever.

Each of Musk's companies is very interesting and worth reading about, but I'm especially interested in SpaceX, since it has to do with the conquest of space, specifically with the colonization of Mars.

Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 in order to reduce the costs of traveling to space and thus promote the colonization of the red planet.

To date, SpaceX has developed several cargo and passenger spacecraft such as the Dragon 2 or the Falcon Heavy that surprised us all by leaving that brand new red Tesla Roadster in orbit. But the most ambitious project, the Starship, has not yet finished development and will be the one that, according to Musk, will allow thousands of rockets to fly to Mars in 2035, where there will be an absolutely self-sufficient colony and will be inhabited by a million people. In fact, Musk has already expressed his desire to die on Mars and although it is hard to believe it seems that it is closer to reality than to fiction.

First steps of the portrait of Bob, the giant rabbit who in 2017 captained the mission PAZ.

Companies like Google and Fidelity invest in SpaceX with up to a billion euros and it has millionaire contracts with NASA to transport merchandise and astronauts to the Space Station and the Pentagon itself to put satellites of the US Air Force into orbit. I'm not going to wrap myself up counting the things anyone can find anywhere about SpaceX and I'm going to focus on what no one knows: Elon Musk also sends animals into space.

However, unlike NASA, the Russians or the French, Musk has managed to capture the spirit and capabilities of each animal species, has motivated and trained them to serve the ultimate goal of the colonization of Mars and finally has successfully added them to its staff.

Jenny prefers to stay in the house catching flies and communicating with the birds through the window.

There are lucky animals, such as the cow Samantha or the Rabbit Bob, who have been able to develop their less wild and more hidden side, for their own benefit and that of others. Bob, thanks to his peripheral vision of almost 360º is a true galactic predator and there is no black hole he can't deal with.

A message for Humanity

This is Albert, representing all the monkeys that NASA has been sending into space since 1948. Albert I, Albert II, Albert III and so on until they reached Albert XX, the last hero without a cape. There were many Alberts but there were also many others that were only simple numbers, because until the primates did not return to Earth alive they were not "baptized" with another name. For example, the first chimpanzee to survive a space flight, becoming the most mediatic to date, was called Ham once he stepped on Earth but before his success he was known simply as Number 65.

In 1961 Ham was in space for only 16 minutes. He survived the trip and died in 1983 at the age of 26.

Although not only the US has sent primates into space, each country had its own preferences: the US sent monkeys, France sent cats and Russia preferred to use dogs. Without a doubt, we all remember the dog Laika who, although unfortunately she was not the only dog to die during the flight, did shock humanity by her death in 1957.

I like to draw Albert imagining that after his forced galactic experience he has freely chosen to continue his space career, thus joining the cow Samantha and the rest of the selenites who live there. I like to think that they are the aliens that "stalk" us and that if they could send a message to humanity it would be something like this...
