Why Jeff Bezosโ vision of space is โmore expansiveโ than Elon Muskโs
Posted by Nicholi Avery in categories: Elon Musk, space travel
The two billionaires are locked in a race to send humans to space, with Muskโs SpaceX far in front of Bezosโ Blue Origin venture. But the two differ on what to do when humanity arrives in space: Musk wants to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars, while Bezos would rather see humans orbiting Earth in giant space stations.
Muskโs vision receives a lot of publicity, but space consultant Rand Simberg tells Inverse that Bezosโ goal is the โmore expansive.โ
โElon is what [science fiction writer Isaac] Asimov would have called a planetary chauvinist,โ he says. โHe thinks people need to be on planets. He wants to be a multi-planet species. Thatโs nice, I guess. But Bezos actually has a more expansive vision.โ
