A billionaire (亿万富翁) called Elon Musk has reported his great plan: take 80,000 brave people to Mars and living there.
He said the plan would start small and the first 10 people would be taken there in a specially-made rocket (特制的火箭).

Of course, these passengers would be sent to work rather than go there on vacation. They would have to carry some equipment to build strong houses for people. There would be some CO2 in the houses which would be covered with a layer (层) of water to serve as protection from the sun. With the CO2, crops would be able to grow at Mars.
