In less than a week, SpaceX's CEO Elon Musk will finally explain how he plans to colonize Mars within the next few decades. It's a goal that he has adamantly championed for years, though he hasn't given many specifics about it. That will change on September 27th, when Musk is expected to talk about the vehicles and technologies needed to bring people to the Red Planet, and then build a long-term settlement there.
For many, the lecture is long overdue. Musk has been very vocal about his desire to put people on Mars, arguing that it's necessary for human survival. "I think there is a strong humanitarian argument for making life multi-planetary in order to safeguard the existence of humanity in the event that something catastrophic were to happen," Elon told Aeon Magazine in 2014.

Where they going to put all the lab equipment? There will be enough room for life support most likely. What is the point of sending them if you can't take what you need to do proper research.
