EuphoricVibez 9 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 "Amazon billionaire, Jeff Bezos, wants future generations to live in space colonies, while fellow tech mogul, Elon Musk, thinks we should colonize Mars. Neither seems very likely, says author Fred Nadis. As a child, Elon Musk would read comic books and sci-fi novels and dream of fantastical worlds. Now the tech entrepreneur is on the verge of visiting one. Musk’s focus narrowed some 20 years ago while poking around NASA’s website. He noticed that there was no timetable for a manned mission to Mars. He later called the lack of vision “shocking.” Musk, then already a millionaire from the sale of a software company, ditched Silicon Valley for Los Angeles, in order to be closer to the aerospace industry, and set his sights on the stars. Now the future of space is largely in his and the hands of other free-spending, big-dreaming billionaires like him, including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos. But what will this future look like? Some answers can be found in the new book “Star Settlers: The Billionaires, Geniuses, and Crazed Visionaries Out to Conquer the Universe” (Pegasus Books) by Fred Nadis, out now. “I see [guys like Musk] almost like medieval cathedral builders, with this multi-century project that they’re willing to take their time and their livelihood,” Nadis told The Post. That said, the author thinks these billionaires may be dreaming a bit too big. Musk, the founder of Tesla, has said that all of his earthly business ventures are just a way to fund his true passion: colonizing Mars." I don't know what, or how to respond to this. Knowing these two, they'll probably colonize the whole solar system if they had the slightest chance, lol https://nypost.com/2020/08/08/billionaires-who-plan-to-colonize-space-live-in-a-dream-world/amp/ He/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonkers 30,860 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Anyone that wants to move to Mars should have to live in the Antarctic for 5 years first. Imagine being born on Mars and finding out your dumb ass parents left EARTH!

So maybe he could help more people by just giving money to foundations but I think he is doing what he think is the best with his ressources. If they succeed they will have found a way to potentially save humanity ! This looks like a worth it investment don't you think ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
