Following news that Japanese Billionaire Yusaku Maezawa will be the first private passenger to go to the Moon, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has now taken to his Twitter to post two photos of the company’s new Mars Base Alpha and BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) design.

The space company’s latest Mars project update shows a concept of what the landing base on the Red Planet will look like, as well as the BFR’s new design, which sees bigger fins.
