Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos, one of the first names that come to mind when space travel is mentioned, made some interesting statements about the fate of the future Earth and humanity.
According to Bezos, speaking at the Igantius Form in DC, Earth will no longer be a main life base and become a ‘Disney-esque’ place in the future. In other words, we can say that Bezos believes that the world will turn into a vacation spot rather than a full-time place to live.
According to Bezos, the home of people born in the future will be space, not Earth
Bezos, who claims that his humanity’s future home will be space instead of Earth; In addition, he stated that he thinks that flying space cities large enough to contain forests, rivers and wildlife will be built, and that all manufacturing will begin in the depths of space. Speaking to the crowd, Bezos said that many people will be born in space over the centuries and that the real home of these people will be space, not Earth; He stated that the world will be nothing more than a place to visit, “as if visiting Yellowstone National Park”.
Bezos; He did not miss the ringing in the ears of Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, the notorious rival in the space race, where they exchanged words with each other at every opportunity. Referring to Musk’s obsession with colonizing Mars, Bezos said; He noted that these colonies would be in the flying space cities he mentioned before, rather than being established on Mars.
It’s a well-known fact that Jeff Bezos is a highly intelligent man and extremely passionate about space; but given the scale of what he’s saying, these are pretty hard to imagine right now. However, considering that all of the leading names in science and the space industry are arguing that the Earth will become uninhabitable after a while and that the only solution for alternative living spaces is to explore space, it doesn’t seem like it’s impossible for science fiction scenarios to be true.
