Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has once again sounded the alarm on the environment, reportedly telling an audience in San Diego that all heavy industrial activity must be moved to space to save Earth.
Bezos appeared at the San Diego Air & Space Museum on Saturday to be inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame for his work on Blue Origin, the space flight company he founded in 2000. The Times of San Diego reported that Bezos addressed a crowd of about 600 invitees at the private event.
I believe that, one day, Earth will be zoned residential and light industry. Well move all heavy industry into space. Thats the only way, really, to save this planet, the worlds richest man reportedly told the crowd.
Bezos said that moving beyond Earth is the only way to sustain a civilization that consumes more and more resources.
You want a dynamic civilization that continues to use more and more energy and more and more resources and build amazing things, he reportedly said. And to do that, you have to move out into the solar system.
Bezos, who also owns the Washington Post, previously invoked the idea of a post-Earth civilization in May at an event for Blue Origin in Washington, DC.
If we move out into the solar system, for all practical purposes, we have unlimited resources, he said in May.

Not in my backyard.
Ive never spent a penny on amazon. I dont want to support him in any way. Somehow I get by just fine.”””
Same here....
Bezos is an idiot.”””
Need a stronger word to describe him.
The amount of resources to remove industry to space would be massive. This guy obviously does NOT understand anything about heavy industry.
This is a shockingly stupid idea. Does he really believe we can send the needed materials (those we cannot mine from asteroids) up to space and then bring manufactured goods down cheaper or with less pollution than simply building on earth? How can someone that poor at logical thinking be the head of so large a company?
Will wonders never cease? I finally agree with Jeff Bezos on something...
He does not think of just how bad the commuting costs would be :)
Isn’t that what we are doing now. Wait till we get Medicare for all, then watch the carnage.
So you can operate a furnace in a vacuum, riiiigtht....
“Move all heavy industry into space to save Earth”
OK Jeffy, you first!
