Elon Musk Will Unveil SpaceX's Mars Colonizing Spaceship This Year

• http://www.businessinsider.com, JESSICA ORWIG

"The Mars transport system will be a completely new architecture. Am hoping to present that towards the end of this year. Good thing we didn't do it sooner, as we have learned a huge amount from Falcon and Dragon," Musk wrote

The reddit comment was in response to a question from Reddit user EchoLogic asking for specifics about the craft. 

While SpaceX is currently known for ferrying cargo to and from the International Space Station for the astronauts aboard, that's not their ultimate goal. The design and redesign of the Falcon rocket system, and the Dragon cargo and crew capsules, are all in an effort to reach Musks ultimate goal of starting a Martian colony, of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people.
