The exploration of space inevitably leads to its colonization. On the other hand, the excessive use of Earth's natural resources will make our planet uninhabitable sooner or later. Billionaire Jeff Bezos believes that people should move into space in the future and recognize Earth as a nature reserve. Jeff Bezos owns the space company Blue Origin and competes with the companies SpaceX and Virgin Galactic. During the annual forum at the Washington National Cathedral, he said that humanity should leave Earth and settle on space stations to prevent our planet from being destroyed. According to the billionaire, civilization is constantly growing and consuming more and more resources so people must live in space stations with artificial gravity in the future. Bezos argues that up to a trillion people can live in space colonies and if Earth is to survive humanity must extract resources and produce energy outside the Blue Planet. Of course, building space colonies also requires resources and our civilization is not yet developed enough to get them off asteroids or other planets. So implementing Jeff Bezos' idea will require extracting more land resources. And if space colonies were created from resources obtained from outside Earth, the billionaire's plan would be carried out in the very distant and indefinite future.
