Billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk is certainly very hands-on with his work, but not like that, apparently.
Elon Musk has denied a New York Times report suggesting he had volunteered his sperm to help seed a colony on Mars.
The July 11 report suggested that Musk had quietly directed his team to begin planning an off-world habitat that could survive Mars’ hostile environment.
One team is looking at plans for “small dome habitats,” including materials that could be used to build them. Another is working on spacesuits that could survive Mars’ freezing extraterrestrial climate — made up of 95% carbon dioxide and only 0.13% oxygen — while a third is researching whether humans could have children there.
