Humanity will move most industry into space and allow only a select few to remain on our planet, which will be turned into a natural resort, according to self-funded space explorer Jeff Bezos.
The Amazon billionaire enthusiastically shared his predictions for what human civilization will look like in the future – with him personally helping to bring that future closer – during a talk at the annual Ignatius Forum in Washington, DC.
He expects vast cylindrical space colonies spinning to create artificial gravity for millions of residents to take over most industrial production. Meanwhile, Earth will be turned into a natural reserve with restricted access similar to US national parks today.
“This place is special, we can’t ruin it,” the founder of Amazon said of our planet.
“Millions of people will move from Earth to space over time. And that’s the vision of Blue Origin – millions of people working in space,” he said, referring to his own firm.
“Over centuries, most or many of the people will be born in space. It will be their first home. They will be born on these colonies, they will live on these colonies. They may visit Earth the way you would visit Yellowstone National Park,” Bezos predicted.
He said that the colonies themselves “will have rivers and forests and wildlife,” which arguably brought his speech out of the realm of futurology and towards optimistic science fiction. Amazon is infamously resourceful when it comes to squeezing its workers for every drop of productivity. That’s why the similarly rosy description of ‘Amazon factory towns’ solving economic inequality in the US was met with horror, when it was proposed by a Bloomberg columnist in September.

TRANSLATION: The slave-labor colonies will be moved to space.
The dreams of wealthy psychopaths.
When they say “flatten the curve” what they mean is “flatten the population curve”.
It is getting kinda obvious.
Jabberwocky.
Just get rid of the parasitic Commies and all will be hunky dory.
Yeah if they get uppity, no foood, no water. If that doesnt fix it. Rapidly deteriorating orbit and all the troublemakers burn up on re entry.
The resort colonies, of course, will be for Bezos and his pals.
See you on Mars at work camp 67987-B!
I am hoping that he gets to meet his Maker REALLY soon, and explain his plans to Him. Then, he and his ilk, can spend eternity in the presence of his spiritual father the father of lies.
“Humanity will move most industry into space and allow only a select few to remain on our planet”
Yeah, when?
These guys forget that their Creator has a plan also. Perhaps they
should inquire about that before making too many plans for themselves.
why has the SEC and DO”J” permitted him to
dark-pool short and ruin so many companies
and then take over THEIR sectors?
what is a payoff, Alex?
I'm thinking Thursday.
Effing Bozo.
Psychotic pipe dream. Get some medication for that man.
Be a shame if his rocket did a Challenger with him in it.
Bezos is nuts. It would be incredibly expensive to set up colonies on the moon or Mars, and virtually impossible to make them self-sustaining for more than a small number of people. Why would we leave an eminently suitable plane like the Earth for inhospitable places where we would have to live in artificial domes (or whatever) the entire time?
wow if Bezos said that I guess it will be true. He runs a hugely successful package shipping business so I guess he knows what he’s talking about.
That’s OK...I’ll stick with the Holodeck.
