"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.
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?

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.
Why did Jeff Bezos not distribute his earthly posessions across the world to everyone already? He will live in space soon anyway.
"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.
I know about all the stuff he's working on but even if it all turns out to work the way he claims, it's not going to be able to transport millions of people into space over the next few years.
If we take the next few years to mean a decade from now then maybe will be at a point where extremely rich billionaires can pay to spend a weekend space on orbital reef or something similar. But I can't imagine will be at the point of millions of people being in space on a semi-permanent basis, not within a decade, maybe within 50 years depending on how SpaceX fair with starship, but that stretching the definition of soon a bit far.
Elon musk said that starship might be able to transport 100 people at a time, which is musk speak for 15 people. But let's say it can transport 100 people at a time, it can get to the moon and back again within 6 days, and they have multiple ships so that they can launch pretty much continuously with one launch every 24 hours. That sounds far fetched but it is remotely reasonable so let's go with it.
Assuming we were already at that level of capability to transport 1 million people to the moon with that method would take nearly 28 years to complete. So we'd be looking at 2048 as the date that 1 million people would be on the moon. But we don't have that capability yet so there's also however much lead time we would need to get to that point.
So even if we started now, as in today, it would be nearly the middle of the century before we achieved his goal, yeah that's not Soonβ’

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.
you first, dickhead.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
Yeah I mean given that magic and superpowers are just around the corner people should be super stoked.
Millions of people.... On a planet of billions.
Wasn't there a Matt Damon movie about that?
Elysium
Wut.
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.
Billionaries love to huff their petrid farts.
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
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.
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.
