Send your desktop to Mars with SpaceX's dazzling wallpapers
SpaceX is going to Mars. Not immediately, and many things are still uncertain, but the company sure has grand plans -- from the initial flights with the Dragon, to send colonists to the red planet in a huge rocket -- and all that within a decade or so.
During Elon Musk's keynote in Guadalajara, Mexico, on Tuesday, a four-and-a-half minute video showed a pretty overview of how the company plans to send humans to Mars. That video, which you can see below, was shared just before Musk took the stage.
Later, SpaceX also shared a couple dozen, high-resolution still images on its Flickr account. Some are stills from the video (they will work better for wallpaper purposes, since -- unlike the images in the video -- they contain no overlay text), and some are photos used in Musk's presentation itself.

The renders won't teach you anything new about SpaceX's plans to colonize Mars (and, eventually, the rest of the solar system), but they're beautiful to look at. Check out our selection below, and grab the rest over at Flickr.
