Jeff Bezos' space colony plans are straight out of 1970s science fiction
"The planet is getting hotter, the world population is growing and we're on a fast
track to sending 1 million species into extinction. So how will the human species endure and grow when our home planet struggles to put up with us any longer? If you ask Jeff Bezos, the answer is to live in space. At an event in Washington DC this month, the CEO of Blue Origin outlined his plans to expand the human race beyond the confines of this planet. "If we're out in the solar system, we can have a trillion humans in the solar system, which means we'd have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins," he said. "This would be an incredible civilization." So where would that massively increased population live? To answer that, Bezos has taken a leaf out of the '70s sci-fi playbook with a plan to build advanced human colonies, floating in the dark abyss of space. In this week's episode of Watch This Space , we take a look at Bezos' vision to expand into space (with Blue Origin's help). And it turns out, this isn't exactly new territory."

See: https://www.cnet.com/news/jeff-bezos...ion-blue-moon/ It'll never happen. It's simply too expensive for just a few tens of thousands of inhabitants (many trillions of $). In addition, it's simply too dangerous and fragile a structure to live in. One explosion or puncture and everyone in the colony dies. Not even Bezos will be able to fund this endeavor and he's unlikely to find investors since there's no profit to be made in building this thing. |
