Elon Musk ’s girlfriend Grimes has revealed to her Instagram followers that she's "ready to die on Mars".
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.
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.
She wrote alongside the shot: "Ready to die with the red dirt of Mars beneath my feet Starbase Tx."
The Canadian singer has previously admitted she wants to help bring life to Mars.
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.
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.
Earlier this month, Elon, 49, made the claim that his company will touch their ships down on Mars "well before 2030".
He plans to send one million people to Mars by 2050 and build a city there.
However, it hasn't all been plain sailing so far in his plans.
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.
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.
The plans to take human life to Mars have been criticised by some experts.
Britain's chief astrophysicist Lord Martin Rees said that Elon's plans are a "dangerous delusion".
American astrophysicist and science educator Neil deGrasse Tyson was in agreement and added that transferring human populations to Mars was "unrealistic".
