No one enjoys the dreaded commute to work, and by 2045, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicts we’ll have robots to do that for us. After all, in the billionaire's vision we’ll be venturing to other planets for our 9-to-5's.
Yea, maybe they should show we can grow food and mone water ice on a large enough scale first. But, millions even in 50 years seems unlikley given the pace things have gone.
But Musk’s disciples believe we will one day be walking around on planets and moons with no air, and temperatures 100x more extreme than parts of earth no one can live in.
These are simple people, the common clay of the new space…
And on top of all this does he think we just send astronauts up to space to live in the ISS for extended periods of time all willy nilly? Or hell just sending people to the moon, that was just “ok, you’re going to to the moon tomorrow, pack your bags” no. It takes months if not years of training to get someone used to living in zero g for extended periods of time. Us silly meatbags need something called gravity to live. You can’t just shoot someone out into space and say “have at it”. So whose going to train these millions of people? There’s no artificial gravity spinny things on ships to do that. there’s hardly any on the moon.
And then what if these people want to go back to Earth for a visit? it wouldn’t work. Look at Astronauts who have been on the ISS for an extended period of time when they come back. They can’t walk, they look like they’re going to pass out. So everytime these millions of people decide to return for a visit they also have to spend time getting help to get used to being on Earth again? no way, that’s not happening. You would literally have to set up some sort of hospitals specifically for this and then train and hire a massive amount of people who deal only with getting people used to dealing with gravity again. 2045? be real jeffy boy.
I mean again the people who are floating around in space right now are specifically selected and are in peak physical condition. The ONLY way it would maybe work is if we managed to develop a form of artifical gravity and right now that’s science fiction. OR you set up a colony on Mars and right now that’s a one way trip. and I’ve seen/read/played a lot of media where one way mars colony trips never work out well in the long run.
Nope
Not happening, and not even close.
We still don’t have a first moon base, and no idea how to even build one that’ll last.
First you’ll need a proof of concept base, it’ll take you a good decade to get that done
Then, millions? Any idea how many tickets that is?
The richer, the dumber

Ketamine is a great drug.

Plus there’s a massive Dragon on Mars…
