Elon Musk s girlfriend Grimes has revealed to her Instagram followers that she's \"ready to die on Mars\". <\/p>\n
The singer, 33, took to the social media platform on Tuesday to make the bold claim as her partner continues with his efforts to touch down on Mars.<\/p>\n
Grimes, who has been dating the SpaceX CEO since 2018 and has a child with him, posted an image to her 1.7 million Instagram followers posing in front of Elon's Starbase facility in Texas. <\/p>\n
She wrote alongside the shot: \"Ready to die with the red dirt of Mars beneath my feet Starbase Tx.\"<\/p>\n
The Canadian singer has previously admitted she wants to help bring life to Mars. <\/p>\n
The Sun reported that in a Q&A last month she confessed she wanted to relocate to the planet after she turns 50 to help erect a human colony there.<\/p>\n
Grimes, whose real name is Claire Elise Boucher, said the move would be a case of \"manual labour until death most likely\" but admitted that she hoped that could change.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Elon, 49, made the claim that his company will touch their ships down on Mars \"well before 2030\".<\/p>\n
He plans to send one million people to Mars by 2050 and build a city there.<\/p>\n
However, it hasn't all been plain sailing so far in his plans.<\/p>\n
SpaceX lost another prototype Mars rocket on Tuesday as the company's latest Starship test flight crashed while trying to land in heavy fog in Texas.<\/p>\n
It was the fourth Starship prototype to crash to date with two previous models exploding upon landing and another exploding minutes after a successful landing.<\/p>\n
The plans to take human life to Mars have been criticised by some experts.<\/p>\n
