Yeah I mean given that magic and superpowers are just around the corner people should be super stoked.

Why the FUCK would I want to be living in space? Bitch, the food air water and gravity are HERE.
But in space amazon can own them!
Because tech billionaires can charge money for all of that in space!
that's the main reason they actually hope they can do it. it fucking bothers them so much that they can't charge you for breathing.

Probably because that doesn't pay for rent, gas, groceries, clothes, utilities, bills, or healthcare. Are you accepting "will live in space soon" as payment on your website, Jeff? No? Well fuck off then.
"I believe, in the next couple of decades, there will be millions of people living in space. That's how fast this is going to accelerate," he said.
Jeff Bezos has been saying this stuff for a while. It's not clear whether he's just hyping his rockets, but he seems genuinely delusional and detached from reality. I remember an interview in which he was beside himself with enthusiasm for the idea that humanity was going to spread billions of people throughout the whole solar system. To most of us it's not clear why this is supposed to be a good thing, especially if these people will all be abused by mega corporations like Amazon. And it's utterly impossible. Besides, most people would prefer to do anything at all to try to save Earth from the ravages of capitalists like Bezos. But of course these techbro assholes prefer to live in sci-fi fantasies than actually have to pay their workers and their taxes and clean up their pollution.
We should shoot his ass into space in the Apollo 13 capsule with all the manuals, and let him know that he has to safely navigate it around the moon and back to earth by himself, and if he does, we'll let him live.
He'll die within 2 days
Let's be sure to send him with his bimbos and a couple of bottles of champagne to shake and spray.

If he meant it, he would be pumping more resources into Blue Origin's Orbital Reef space station concept instead of sitting around and waiting for NASA to fund it. Vast is planning to launch a little 4 person private space station next year. Blue should have been way ahead of them.
Hey Jeff, being good at buying something for a dollar and selling it for two doesn't mean you're a genius. Salesmen shouldn't be giving advice like that.
you first, dickhead.
Jeff, my boy: Newsflash β humanity has ALWAYS lived in space. Weβve got an awesome orbital station that manages food, climate, entertainment, and almost everything else weβve ever needed.
Are you calling for us to abandon ship for an inferior product?

"Jeff bezos says" has the same level of legitimacy as people going "as a mother". Yeah he's rich but he's also mind numbingly stupid. Why do I care about anything he has to say because none of it is reasonable logical or relevant.
Is rocket doesn't even get above the karmen line and takes about six people at a time. How are millions of people even going to get into space with that kind of transport system?
Let's at least hate accurately. Blue Origin is working on a ton of stuff, just super slowly. Their orbital rocket, New Glenn, should have its 2nd launch in a few weeks. They're working on a space station, Orbital Reef, but I have no idea what the timeline is. They're also allegedly working on an orbital crew capsule, but that has almost zero public info.

Millions of people.... On a planet of billions.
Wasn't there a Matt Damon movie about that?
Elysium
Why did Jeff Bezos not distribute his earthly posessions across the world to everyone already? He will live in space soon anyway.
In Space!!
where slavery laws don't exist
hey now this dude wanted to go to space to escape capitalism, not to spread it. he's infinitely better than this dickhead jeff bozo.
Wut.
Jeff: donβt worry I got this.

I guess this means he's going to give all his Amazon employees a pay raise equivalent to his own salary so that everyone will be equally financially able to travel to space.
"I don't understand why people on the verge or starvation and ruin aren't happy with me indulging in pointless ego-projects?"
He's a cunt
I long for days when tech CEOs weren't so vocally obsessed with space, such that taking about space development could lead to interesting discussion of what a realistic timeframe actually is and what progress can be made, rather than just an assumption that one is a Musk or Bezos fanboy that actually believes we can do the work of centuries in 20 years somehow by giving the people that aready have too much money, even more money.
Soonβ’
Jeff Bezos ~~Says He~~ Doesn't Understand ~~Why Anybody Alive Now Would Be 'Discouraged'βBecause Soon, 'Millions Of People Will Be Living In Space'~~
Fixed that headline.
Billionaries love to huff their petrid farts.
Has he been taking steroids?
no. no they won't. it won't happen until we can manufacture in space with automation. We will need to be close to mechanisms that can manufacture themselves for it to be doable.
Everyone is missing the point, the extreme rich will be living in space as they continue to rape the earth of all its resources for their own sick pleasure.
So, I'm not digging through all my comments to find it, but I've said a while back they're planning to take the money, colonize space and take enough regular people to be slaves and leave the rest of us here to deal with the mess they made.
God only knows the mess they can make here, while making a worse mess of Earth and maybe the galaxy.
Nah, they'll stay where it's best for a person to be, which is on earth. Space is a great place to visit but it's not gonna be a more pleasant place to stay than earth for a long time if ever
I mean, they are stupid cocaine-brained man-children, but it would be history's greatest fuckup to *choose * space over Earth. No matter how much we manage to fuck it up, it will always be more suitable for life than space or mars.

Unless I'm on a federation starship I don't want to live in space. I want to live on earth where my species belongs
Billionaires are so delusional
isnt me or bezos is taking alot of PEDs right now. he doesnt want to be seen a scrawny tech ceo.
They're all into body modification. Musk is taking HGH and that's why his chest is like that.
and some of them like thiel and bryan johnson, is spending millions a year on "life extending" pseudoscience treatments/research. bryan is a little more extreme than the others.
Disobey and it's out the airlock for you...
