The Earth will be something of a protected national park in the future and perhaps a popular space tourist attraction. That’s the view of Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos.
“For centuries, most or many people will be born in space,” Bezos told the forum. “This will be their first home. They will be born in colonies and live in them. They will be able to visit Earth the way we now visit Yellowstone National Park.”
Bezos stressed that the Earth is the most valuable planet and that it is up to us to protect it. However, he still believes that the future of humanity is not on her.
“It can support 10 billion people to some extent,” he said, later adding: “The solar system can support a trillion people and so we can continue to develop our civilization.”
