Jeff Bezos: rockets will allow trillion people colonise the solar system

Founder of Amazon.com Jeff Bezos, who also owns his own private spaceship company, Blue Origin, outlined his own plans for human domination of the Moon and, eventually, the entire solar system.

Bezos, was forthright about his plans for our natural satellite. “It’s time for America to go back to the Moon, this time to stay,” he said at the astronaut-studded annual Apollo 11 Gala at Kennedy Space Center's Apollo/Saturn V Center in Florida, after accepting the first annual Buzz Aldrin Innovation Award from Apollo 11 astronaut Aldrin’s education-focused ShareSpace Foundation.

“We should build permanent settlements on the Moon's poles where we can get water and solar power. We know things about the Moon we didn’t know back in the 1960s and 1970s, and with reusable rockets, we can do it affordably,” he added. “We can get that done today.”
