Elon Musk is like "a man with a plan" with all of his public announcements and claims via Twitter, particularly about the upcoming role of SpaceX in bringing humans to Mars via the Starship to arrive before 2030. The Mars Base Alpha plans to be self-sustaining, among other things, which Elon Musk would soon want there, but simulation shows that the CEO and his mission are missing something.
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA - MAY 30: Spacex founder Elon Musk celebrates after the successful launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the manned Crew Dragon spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center on May 30, 2020 in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Earlier in the day NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley lifted off an inaugural flight and will be the first people since the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011 to be launched into space from the United States.
It seems impossible that Elon Musk and SpaceX would be missing something, for something as complicated as interstellar space travel and going to other planets are planned years. Apart from that, Elon Musk has revealed himself to be envisioning space travel for a lot of years now, aiming to be the Red Planet's first ruler in his memes.
However, as much as SpaceX and Elon Musk is looking into space travel, several simulations made by some experts have vouched for what would be missing in the first Mars mission by humans headed by the company. The mission would take place anytime during the 2020's decade (2021 to 2029) as Elon Musk reveals the plans to launch the Full Stack Starship by July.
SpaceX and Elon Musk are Missing Something, What Is It?
NASA Goddard has hosted a space simulation mission, also known as "analog missions," that aims to replicate the conditions on another planet (in this case, Mars) so that humans would know the situations. Here, it was designed by the studio called "Cosmic Perspective" which has been held in the HI-SEAS station in Hawaii.
According to Inverse, MaryLiz Bender was the first tester of the highly remote situation, in which she had gone 15 days on the "fake Mars" station and experienced what typical humans would see in a highly foreign location. In this case, the highly foreign location is the uncharted area of Mars that was never before seen or visited by any humans before SpaceX.
Bender said that isolation and cabin fever were among the first feelings that she felt when going to the fake Mars and that as SpaceX and Elon Musk are focused directly on the goal, they might overlook this factor. Moreover, her advice for Elon Musk and SpaceX is not to build cities that resemble structures on Earth, along with Soundproofing the living areas to avoid the pitch silent feeling.
Elon Musk: SpaceX to Launch Mars' Human Mission Before 2030
On the other hand, Elon Musk is back on Twitter to clarify everyone that has been speculating and writing reports about SpaceX's Mars Mission that would soon happen in a couple of years. The CEO has been repeatedly saying that the first Mars launches would happen before 2030, and not in the next decade as repeated by speculators.
SpaceX will be landing Starships on Mars well before 2030. The really hard threshold is making Mars Base Alpha self-sustaining.

SpaceX has less than nine years to make this happen, particularly with the successful test launch and landing by the Starship along with its Super Heavy Booster Rocket that is destined and designed for the Red Planet. Elon Musk's Mars Base Alpha shares no expense for missions later than 2030, and it seems that the timeline is set for the company.
