breitbart ^ | 12/16/23 | Amy Furr

Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos’s vision for the future involves people living in cylindrical space stations, he recently revealed.

During an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, Bezos laid out what he thinks would be a good thing for humanity, Market Watch reported Friday.

He stated:

"I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins. The only way to get to that vision is with giant space stations. The planetary surfaces are just way too small."

Or better yet, let’s kick every mooselimb off our planet, because their sick evil depraved death cult has no place in the human race at all.

Someone has been reading about L5, Gerard K. O’Neill and his orbital colonies, (Cylinders 10 miles long, 2 miles in diameter, self sustaining.), or even a Dyson Sphere.

The materials exist in space, asteroids, the possible tech to build them from the '70s.

All well and good until one colony decides they want more.

Bezos ‘rocket company’ might as well be Tonka toys. He hasn’t done jack squat except launch Captain Kirk straight up and down. SpaceX began the same month as Blue Origin. Elon Musk has revolutionized rocketry and space travel. Each Starship is large enough to be a space station. If you just spin the Starship, you will have gravity, and solve one of the huge challenges. The European Space Agency ESA has hired Spacex to launch its satellites. HECK, Amazon has hired Spacex, since they cannot depend on Bezos.

The main reason we don't have people living in space is the expense. It costs about a pound of gold for every pound sent into space. The best way to make it cheaper is to manufacture everything off planet. This is where automation is vital.

Machines don't need to breath. Machines making not only copies of themselves but all the requirements people would need. So far machines have done a fine job of exploring the solar system. Once they start making the stuff we need Civilization will finally become established off planet. Good thing too since Earth bound Civilization has had the means for self destruction since the invention of nuclear weapons.

Who will go? The bold and the brave. Since adversity often enhances Religious beliefs , the ultimate adversity of space itself will very likely make the people who choose to live there very spiritual. And we don't have to worry about killing so much as a mosquito once it all begins. People will go , people always follow the money and automation will make the industrial revolution look trivial.

I always figured that the company that runs everything in the movie “Wall-E” was Amazon, thinly-veiled.

And how are going to feed those trillion people?
Where will you put their trash and bodily waste?
He’s become an insane megalomaniac.

"Where will you put their trash and bodily waste?"

Trash chutes and sewer pipes will be vacuumed to outer space.

Recommendation posted porcelain thrones:

To avoid intestines siphoned through bottom hole,
seal lid before activating disposal mode.

It is a very long term plan. It is not impossible.

The earth cannot support a trillion people, so it only makes sense to expand into space.

Might take a couple hundred years to get there.

With a trillion people, the idea of earth as a park, kind of like Yellowstone, makes sense.

This would be a "new earth and a new heaven", would it not?
