Musk's plan of colonizing Mars

Musk's SpaceX is currently developing Starship spacecraft and a Super Heavy rocket to send to Mars. Musk feels that Mars can be colonized as it gets decent sunlight and has elements that can help grow plants on the planet. The force of gravity on Mars is about 38% of that of Earth, making it suitable to lift heavy things and bound around. Furthermore, the day on Mars is remarkably close to that of Earth - 24 hours 37 minutes. Musk wants to land the first humans on Mars by 2024.
