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.
He would make breathable air a subscription based service and I’m not for it.
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.
Wut.
Millions of people… On a planet of billions.
Wasn’t there a Matt Damon movie about that?
Elysium
Yeah I mean given that magic and superpowers are just around the corner people should be super stoked.
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.
Jeff: don’t worry I got this.

Has he been taking steroids?
Disobey and it’s out the airlock for you…
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.
NGL I want off this planet.
I like this planet, they can fuck off.
There’s nowhere else to go.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

Soon, millions of people will be living in space
Jeff Bezos, This post
Yes, that’s obviously horseshit if by ‘soon’, you mean the next 25 to 50 years.
We do not have anywhere close to the technology or infrastructure or underlying economic/sociopolitical integrity to be able to attempt even getting 10,000 regularly people living in space within a decade from now.
Just because Bezos says something doesn’t mean it is true or reasonable or accurate.
Bezos is giving you a fanciful dream to embrace, while the world that he himself disproportionately shaped and transformed to his will… is actively crumbling and falling apart, for everyone with a net worth under ~10 to ~100 million dollars.
He says he is planning to build an at least mostly self sufficient solar panel manufacturing complex, on the moon, using moon dust as input material.
Amazon could not figure out how to make a working grocery store with a contactless payment paradigm.
They recently had a little bit of an oopsie after letting go of thousands of employees… that resulted in an internet brownout, that caused something like $200 billion of economic damage.
They are notorious for running their logistics services via horrific working conditions.
Remember when aerial drones were gonna deliver all our packages to us?
You… you trust this guy, these people, when they just … say they’re workshopping something, that it’s all gonna work out just fine?
Don’t get me wrong, Blue Origin is a lot less ludicrous of an operation than SpaceX, but … this is still a fanciful, near delusional level, aspirational goal from Bezos, not some kind of master plan of 5 5 year plans all meticulously worked out, accounting for every possible contingency, that is just guaranteed to work.
Brother (or sister), I was just making a joke comment on a post about people living in space. I do appreciate your concern tho.
I want off this planet onto a different earth-like planet in another star system, but even the most delusional billionaire doesn’t think that we’ll have access to other systems anytime soon.
“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.
i prefer him in a titan ICBM into space.
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 — humanity has ALWAYS lived in space. We’ve got an awesome orbital station that manages food, climate, entertainment, and almost everything else we’ve ever needed.
Are you calling for us to abandon ship for an inferior product?
One wholly owned, serviced, and supplied by Amazon.
But don’t worry. Orbital Prime is only $999 a year and includes unlimited deliveries and six return trips to land. (For now)

Why did Jeff Bezos not distribute his earthly posessions across the world to everyone already? He will live in space soon anyway.
