The European Space Agency (ESA) has provided an interesting prediction for when humans will be packing up and leaving Earth for good to go and live on Mars.

It may seem like it's a lifetime away, but big names in the space realm such as Elon Musk are planning to have humans landing on Mars by the turn of the decade .

Despite routine tests for SpaceX's Starship going horribly wrong this week , Musk reaffirmed his intention to send one million humans to live on Mars by 2050, which works out at a rate of 40,000 people moving there every year until then.

While these wild predictions seem a bit out of reach at the moment, the ESA has published its own new report titled ' Technology 2040: A Vision For The European Space Agency'.

The agency predicts that by 2040, there will be a 'resilient European presence' across the solar system, calling space a 'territory' instead of a 'frontier'.

The space agency claims that humans will be making home in massive 'space oases' that will be orbiting the Earth, while some will be based on the Moon and others will even be shacking up in Mars and beyond.

These so-called space oases are said to be white domes which will protect humans from cosmic radiation, providing a place to sleep , eat and work.
