Bezos Envisions A Trillion Humans Across The Solar System; "1,000 Mozarts And 1,000 Einsteins"
Jeff Bezos envisions a new space race of one trillion humans that will spread out across our solar system. The Amazon founder and richest man on the planet - for now, suggested that there would be "1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins," adding "Think how incredible and dynamic that civilization will be," according to a speech last week at the Yale Club in New York transcribed by Business Insider.
Bezos says that his aerospace company Blue Origin is building a "low-cost, highly operable, reusable launch vehicle" for spaceflight.
"I really want that dynamic life and civilization for our grandchildren's grandchildren. But we've got to get started,"said Bezos - who warned that "we don't have forever."
Bezos praised tech entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg, citing him as an example of the type of entrepreneuership that could inspire space colonization technologies but that the prohibitive costs of getting into orbit has hindered progress.
"An even more stark example is Facebook. Here's a guy who literally, in his dorm room, started a company — Mark Zuckerberg started a company in his dorm room, which is now worth half a trillion dollars — less than two decades ago," said Bezos.
