We already k**w SpaceX CEO Elon Musk plans to send people to Mars (http://mashable.com/2016/06/02/elon-musk-mars-codecon/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) as soon as 2024. But over the weekend, he hinted on Twitter that his ambitions are much bigger: He wants to conquer the rest of our solar system as well.*
According to Musk, SpaceX's Mars Colonial Transporter, a spacecraft designed to carry both cargo and astronauts to Mars, is actually designed to go "well beyond" Mars. As such, it naturally means the MCT needs a new name, and Musk already has an idea.*
