The founder of Amazon and Blue Origin assures that the future of humanity involves the transfer of all heavy production into space to save the planet
Jeff Bezos is clear; wants to turn the Earth into a Residential area and take all the industrial equipment that supports it into the vacuum of space, is a “declaration of war” from one of the most influential people on the industrial planet as we know it: “I have thought for a while that, after all, if we want to continue to develop our civilization and use more energy per person, sooner or later we will have to move our entire industry heavy outside of Earth,” says the founder of Amazon and aerospace company Blue Origin.
Bezos knows how his proposal sounds, but he doesn’t care too much; “I know that looks like science fiction to some extent, but it will happen”, yes, please be patient, clarify that “I don’t know when it will happen. This is a job I won’t finish. My children’s children probably won’t make it. “It’s something generations will be working on.”
OK, that makes more sense, but it’s complicated. talk about something so long-term Without even knowing how it will be done, Bezos conveniently backs up his words with a small list conditions to be met To get to this point:
“We have already put many communications into space”– he says, noting that the next logical step is to “start building factories in space” and “data centers in space.”
But the real revolution, the tycoon’s “point of no return,” will come when we stop using Earth’s resources to fuel our space industry. “Eventually we’ll get materials not even from Earth, but from the Moon and near-Earth objects and asteroids.”
“Why”: Preserving a perfect planet
That’s all well and good, but why are we talking about it if it’s not going to happen? “until several generations pass”You see, Bezos claims to think like “convinced conservationist”assures that the Earth is a rare and precious event in the vast space, and its mission is to protect it at all costs.
Jeff Bezos says that human progress will require moving heavy industry off the earth
Factories and data centers will move into space using infinite energy and materials from the Moon and nearby asteroids
Earth must remain the home we protect

The leader concludes his speech with a comment almost as eccentric Like some of his industry peers, he claims they are “sent robotic probes to all planets. It’s good”.
Bezos’ vision may sound like a pipe dream a billionaire detached from realityespecially when you take into account some of his other statements, but personally I appreciate that this is a road map worth exploring in peace, even though we have a lot more important issues down here to deal with before we even start thinking about sending anything there.
“We have unlimited energy in space and unlimited material resources in space, this planet is so beautiful and so extraordinary. This is the one we want to protect. There is no Plan B.”
These statements cannot be taken out of context, it is not about this person start building something as a priorityI think it is useful to take these words for what they are; a semi-theoretical estimate of what can will take place over several decades if things keep going at this rate, but don’t let anyone get mad about it (I’m looking at you, Elon), please.
