Grimes still plans to die on Mars

The 2021 Met Gala did not disappoint, and one of the most impressive looks belonged to Canadian musician Grimes, who wore a stunning Iris van Herpen gown with a metallic mask and giant sword. In a video of Grimes getting ready for “fashion’s biggest night out” — days before news broke of her “semi-separation” from SpaceX founder Elon Musk — she speaks about her plan to die on Mars, explaining her desire to go live in space when she’s around 50 years old. It’s still unclear whether her son X Æ A-12 would be joining her in her space travels.

“I am hoping to die on Mars. That would be my goal, I would like to go to Mars. But I probably wouldn’t go to space till I’m like 50, I think.”

It was announced last week that Grimes and Elon Musk have ended their three-year relationship, their first public appearance together having occurred at the Met Gala in 2018. The long-term vision of SpaceX, which specializes in designing, manufacturing and launching advanced spacecrafts, is to enable the development of a colony on Mars. It’s clear that her separation from Musk has not affected her interest in the idea of travelling and possibly moving there.
