- Prince William has suggested entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Sir Richard Branson should focus on saving the Earth rather than engaging in space tourism.
The Duke of Cambridge said great brains and minds should be "trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live".
Talking to BBC Newscast's Adam Fleming, he explained how the inaugural Earthshot Prize will aim to reward people providing inspiring and innovative solutions to problems facing the planet.
The prize's name is a reference to the "moonshot" ambition of 1960s America, which saw President John F Kennedy pledge to get a man on the moon within a decade.

William speaks with such clarity. He will be a great king one day. Passionate, articulate, innovative.
Losing his mother, his grandmother, his brother, this man still stands strong, raising a beautiful family. Nothing but respect
Google the "The 'Prince of Pegging". Then tell me how your respect is getting on.
@@thegoat11111 WOW i just did, and like you I'm shocked that teenagers like to have sex. LOL you must be on dope! Love to see you under that level of seduction.
@@thegoat11111 Stupid tabloid gossip.
Affected his sanity
send him a love letter and give him all your money
When they’re too focused on Space Travel and buying fancy cars and their workers don’t have the ability to purchase a house, buy property, and put food on the table. He’s right. Greed is the problem and giving everyone the ability to thrive and live a fulfilling life is important.
Yep being a royal is shite
The royals "workers" don't get payed enough to buy a house either.... The queen's last Chef was on a minimum wage salary ... That's just the chef let alone all the civil workers and her servants....stop thinking this royal family have good intentions they do nothing to change the bad state of this country
@@datbang5072 Prince William seems like he cares and wants to modernize things. He’s not King yet so there’s only so much he can do.

@@Reelunique At least for Elon Musk, much of what he does is for the better of mankind, whether that's Tesla or SpaceX. Tesla makes EVs, solar panels, battery energy storage, and software for a much more efficient society. SpaceX, counter to popular belief, isn't just a mission to get to mars (although that's the final goal). With satellites being highly crucial to well everything, creating an open industry where only governments could barely reach before is great for society. And I guess there's also that having a civilisation on mars would allow nations to start fresh on a new canvas and acts as a backup society if something were to go catastrophic.
Top chap. His Ma is surely proud of him! The monarchy is in safe hands with William!
Do you need monarchy?
@@anindyabagchi27 A very good question. Is it what it is and has been for a thousand years and thousand years before that...
If it were not a Monarchy, would a family like the Kennedys, Trumps or Biden’s be a better alternative? For surely they would be worse than what we have.
Which of the worlds political systems do you favour as a replacement to our Monarchy?
@@johnsinclair2672 you are a well read man I presume. About 2500 thousand years or around Greece came up with a revolutionary idea. That Greece didn't need any kings. They could rule themselves. They called it democracy. Yes I would prefer elected leaders. I have no doubt now as to why the UK is in its current decline. You white Britishers will now be slaves to brown Britishers.

Absolutely Love William more and more as he has become older !! I mean so totally intelligent, great sense of humour, speaks well, is passionate. Cannot believe what he has become !! He is phenomenal, such a modern monarch !! Totally the future of the world !!
I thought the future of the world is Jesus Christ? Smh shesh
@@Starrrwarrrs6rbluey wrong, it is science and education. doing the work needed
well the future of the world is the antichrist and the antichrist taking dominion on the entire world for at least 7 years. UK included.
Agree. He has evolved from a shy teens to a very responsible adult.
I'm old enough to remember the way everyone this side of the pond spoke about Prince Charles being crazy and useless because of the way he focused on the environment. Now I have grown children. One of them has chosen to have children, the others not. Its heartbreaking to me either way. Knowing that my grandchildren will have to suffer the effects of devastating climate change if we do nothing and that they will quite possibly choose not to have children themselves; while my other children have that realization weighing on them in their choice not to bring children into this world as it stands. My heart breaks that we have given our children and grandchildren such an uncertain future and that we have waited until one second to midnight to do anything about it.
William is ahead of his time, just as his father was and is.
Just me do et anything et everyone et to et have i faut arrêter vos blablas politiques et vos monsanges bien sur I faut arrêter te profiter sé pas ley ki va régler vos blablas politiques et vos monsanges o puré ke des boddys et ke des hypocrites
I think the idea of not having children to spare them the future we have built is kind of lazy and not really good for the future. We need to educate the next generation and especially our children so they can change the world. If we are not the ones having children, all it leaves are the ignorant ones or neutral ones being brought up. Just my thoughts
The Aviationist, I think not having children is an exceptionally responsible choice.
Humans have singlehandedly destroyed planet earth.
Without humans the planet would thrive !
Earth does not need us but we need the earth !
Liking this guy more and more! Well delivered interview showing his real passion.
and so good looking...but its not his fault... ;) Love William, so well spoken, so positive ...elegant, smart...and the list goes on... 💫
We are not giving up on this planet William; In my book, the fact that some people make it their dreams and their Goals, to go beyond our planet, is OK too. It's all good William. We love you.💛🌻

for a royal you mean
Savio
Very wise gentleman and lovely to hear him speaking.
Thank you for pointing out the exact issue
Didn't Chris Packham point out in a protest march, that the Queen's estates are extremely poor in biodiversity as a result of the land being managed for hunting and shooting. Maybe the royal family should lead by example and attempt to re-wild the huge amount of UK land that is under their control.
Hey
M...🧡💕
Peckham said he would like some of the crown own lands to be use to wild life like converted to forest stuff like that instead of just being not used
@@crystalhaki7270 the royals have always controlled their land, first for their sadistic pleasures, and then as a money making machine. Re-wilding would cost them money, so they are unlikely to do it. It is another example!e of do as we say, not as we do.
Prince Charles has operated the estates under his control in a nature friendly fashion and champion organic farming, but all the royals have a lot of damage to atone for.
They are all guilty of shooting and fishing for pleasure. Blowing birds out of the sky with shot guns. In their quest for game, they run Grouse Moors, which are both cruel and environmental unfriendly. How many birds of prey have been sacrificed to ensure sufficirnt Grouse to face the guns on the "glorious" 12th. Sorry, but as far as I am concerned, the royal family as an institution are guilty of environmental hypocrisy, and they need to do more to atone for their past sins of animal cruelty and environmental damage.
The only good they have done is preserve the land from being turned into yet more urban deserts, but I doubt if their movies were in any way altruistic.
Huge among of land?
Why you spread disinformation.
.....
MOST OF THE LAND.
@@ConstructiveMinds100 i suggest you repost your comment in english, and then I will attempt to answer it. The royal family own 287,000 acres, making them one of the largest land owners in the UK. The crown estate is ranked third in UK land ownership. So "huge" seems appropriate to describe the percentage of UK land under royal control. So why are you spreading disinformation?
Prince William is my favorite no doubt
Using his privilege to help others on a global level IS giving back .
What exactly is he "giving back" ?
@@shabnamrafique7730 He’s ‘giving back’ exposure to these issues. People pay more attention to something when there is celebrity/Royal endorsement. He has dedicated HOURS towards environmental problem solving.
It strikes me how like John Kennedy, Prince William is in that regard. Both were raised with a very strong message that they were to strive and do their best to make the world a better place.
@@traygoodie correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t he caught yet again taking helicopters pretty much everywhere
@Whitney Pyant
It’s a security issue. A heck a lot more pollution if he drives and police and security shut down the roads and all those vehicles waiting in resulting traffic polluting. But once electric cars and electric helicopters are here (and already there are some small electric corporate jets) it won’t be a problem.
I'm glad that the Royal Family reflects on Humanity as a whole as it has always been the tradition, and speaks of climate change as one of the many problems that led to the tendency of this term being used to designate all of them. He is absolutely right about the necessity of a different way of considering problems in human society. Like his father he seeks unity in understanding and it feels like the call for the support of other leaders in the world is flowing in the air in this strange moment of the beginning of the new era that started with the sorrow of losing a great human leader, the Queen loved throughout the world.
This dude has the money to help repair the planet too

Your whole family is so wealthy that you could easily invest in environmental friendly projects for example.
It’s good you believe we should try and focus on saving our planet, although people like you can do a difference.
The royals don’t invest for the purpose of profit. This expectation that the rich people should do so is just daft.

Let's cease calling them "environmental problems" and start calling them "human issues" or "human behaviour issues" or "ecological exploitation issues." When we take responsibility for the causes of the damage then we can start to reverse the harm and co-create regenerative solutions.

We messed up our own planet. We have no business crapping on other planets.
Oh my God. I always think that too. We have a beautiful planet. Hate the thought of humans going up there. I agree
British writer C.S Lewis once eluicidate his view on man's fixation and fascination with space travels:
" Let's pray that the human race never escapes Earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere".
Prince William is right: Fix our apparently broken planet first before expending our energy beyond our Earth.
@Esphaeras Praestans Not from an environmental perspective though, and that's the correct understanding that's being addressed here. Satellite technology, the perpetual fascination with space exploration, cannot "undo" the damage here on THIS PLANET EARTH! Only WE can attempt to do that on this abode, and not above!
@Esphaeras Praestans I don't disagree with you on the scientific advances from space exploration, many of which you've stated that I am also familiar with over the years, and to be sure, Prince William as well. What he's pointing out, which I wholeheartedly agree with, is that it's a non-effective and roundabout, indirect way of dealing with climate change. Because the source of the problem lies with CO2 emissions, the obvious solutions, which are presently being directly addressed, are how to minimize our over-dependency on fossil-fuels, as well as curb our luxurious appetites to make the world our "oyster", without thoroughly considering the consequences to the environment.
@Esphaeras Praestans Socio-economic issues does indeed drive our political-system, after all, Western societies are democracies, aren't they? They're not dictatorships, so it is as it should be. But I understand your point about the power of the fossil-fuel industries and their representational lobbyists, that all too often influence political decisions...for better or worse, depending on how you view it. I disagree with you on the budget of NASA however, it's always received a huge cut of the national revenue to support its fascinations from the beginning (Kennedy years), because of its strategic importance militarily (at first), and then subsequently because of the technological and commercial benefits its yielded.
How best national revenues are allocated to combat what clearly is an existential threat to our planet will continue to deepen, given the scope of natural catastrophes which become more intense each year. I agree with him on the emphasis shift to pool our governmental finances to look for solutions to our current crisis because, quite honestly, it is that dire.
Prince William---very good interview and alot to think about. I can understand Prince George's thoughts and confusion. For me, yes l get tired of picking up other people's trash laying around. We as parents need to teach this to the younger generation. Get our youngsters evolved in doing things that matter to society and not be Couch potatoes and playing on their cell phone all the time!! Prince William you are doing a great job 👏 👍 🙌 👌 😀 💙!!
Ok enough talking attention seeker
I wish William would take a more active role in reducing the royals carbon footprint
Just williams is probably more than a thousand times the amount of us plebs
@@claw333 1000 times less, the amount they have raised for the environment has offset their carbon emissions. They are a net benefit for the climate.
A more active role? Like start a campaign to pay money to people, who come up with ideas to help the world. A campaign that will last at least until 2030. Maybe he should call it "Earthshot". Oh wait he did.

Maybe William can help out and turn the AC down in his jet…
He can't. He will make his child uncomfortable and that doesn't want him to "carry this burden". But we have to carry it for his child by telling us.
Some people own and live in multiple palaces, enjoy luxious life, food and untapped access to public money... while others don't even have proper food or shelter and struggle to make ends meet. The same people, the former types, have clue what needs repairing and who needs to change.
The Royal Family need to stay out of politics like they used to. This is a political issue and has nothing to do with the environment. It's all about the tax revenue for governments and the tax credits for corporations. Do we really think corporations care about the environment? They push this issue through their propaganda media because it will make them trillions of dollars. Tesla earn more profits with their carbon credits than they do selling cars.
We should do both. It’s perfectly reasonable
What is the number one thing a person can do to prolong their life? Its no secret anymore btw.
The trouble is the implications of the reason are NOT what an economy built on consumption wants to hear. The answer is so profound as to bring into question the very purpose of human existence.
the answer?
EAT as little as you can and still remain functional. In other words if you want to live STOP doing what most assume is living. Even then you die. Life itself KILLS YOU.
It is very reasonable to do both

His father, Prince Charles, has done decades of environmental work. ... William created the Earthshot Prize, which aims to find solutions to the planet's problems through new technologies or policies." Now this might feel it needs detail (and that is worth digging).

Absolute quality. The future is bright, the solutions already exist. We've seen a century or more of urbanization, it brings benefits but also a disconnection with the environment and systems which support us. With a huge population increase, a migration of the population away from the land, nature our environment and an explosion of consumption, both materialistic and energy, it's amazing we have kept things together this long. We can do it. the future is ours if we choose to engage in enriching our lives and our environment. Fear disappears with understanding and also fear disappears as we grow who when are and what we have. Life is growth, without it we decay and die prematurely.

My man, this planet can't be fixed... nations like North Korea and China will *NEVER* play ball. That is the reality of our situation.
I try to make this argument to all my earth loving friends. China don’t play by the same rules. We must compete and win
Nationen sind Völker nícht

At face value I am not sure this is correct. I am quite concerned by China's rise to power however I am also concerned by Populism and the influence of cooperate interests in the west, more so even. If we are going to criticise China or gain its respect we first have to find a way to let democracy function better so it can effectively address these issues. A huge war with China will not help climate change, there has got to be a better way. Most likely China bashing is just another way to distract us from the real issues and over simplify things.
@@ScientistWind "Over simplification" may be the case, but tell me who's "going to fix the planet" ??
Big money is not going to my friend, Big money knows this planet is FUUUUUXD in the long run and they are dedicated to perfecting space travel at this moment in time so they can leave us "simple folk 🤫" behind on a dying planet.
That is how I see it, ✌.
Or the US, historically the biggest contributor to this whole environmental issue.
Money is what stands in the way of progress towards a cleaner and less volatile future. It's not just *how* it's spent, but the fact that it exists at all - that it is charged and spent. Even if everyone had plenty of money to live on and do business with, that still wouldn't end serious ransomeware attacks, wars, and other negative issues that rely on money for their underpinnings.
Money itself, not just the love of it, is at the bottom of every horrible choice made in this world. I don't doubt that every sector in this world can be used to clean this planet up - but industry leaders have to lose their incentive to *not bother* first. They see the money they can gain through their despicable choices, and they don't care about anything else.
They'll even claim to "go green" if they think it will bring in other peoples' money just because they made that claim, yet they'll lie through their teeth about it!
Monetary economics is ruining this planet and humanity's chances for survival. We can have rule of law. We can use technology to mitigate supply and demand, and to keep track of who should contribute what and how much to their local and world-wide community. We can do all of this democratically.
Before anyone jumps down my throat about Socialism or Communism, I'll remind everyone that both of those are *monetary* economic systems. What I'm talking about here is going *non-monetary.* We can all do it, at the same time, the world over. That's the only way it would work for anyone - is if everyone did it at the same time.
Why don't you start saving the planet by not flying around in your private jet!

As for George and the other kids liter-picking, this is an opportunity to teach him and them what all the different bins are for. Re-using, renewing, repurposing, recycling, and trash. Each home needs all 5 bins. Producers of product packaging should be required to only use recyclable or biodegradable packaging that is either multi-use (like glass, acrylic, silicon, cloth, metal, or wood) rather than single-use (like paper towels or non-bio-plastic picnic spoons) or is easy to re-use, renew, or repurpose and includes easy to follow instructions for how to do these things.
Carbon footprints shouldn't be allowed to be paid for monetarily. That's an easy cop-out. Instead, manufacturers should be required to switch to methods that don't cause pollution in the first place. We can't go to God and purchase a new planet from him, lol! We get *one* chance to do this right.
Everyone needs ample solar and wind power supplies for their homes and vehicles, and we all need reliable electric-only vehicles and a lot of charging stations, both at all our homes, at businesses, along highways, etc. We need other green transportation solutions as well.
In any case, I'm pretty disturbed that people just throw their trash on the ground. Don't they at least know what trash bins are for?!
you do know it all goes to landfill sucker

Give up the wealth you have and didn’t earn to that cause then. My guess is you won’t, instead just demand that others do that with the wealth they Did earn.

Je t'adore prince William.Je prie pour toi,pour que tu montes un jour,sur le trône,tu seras un prince,beau,instruit,cultivé et moderne.god bless you prince William,love so much...🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️😳😳
where did this interview take place?
Good idea. Beacause there are many places in the world that need to be repaired. For example, in my place, local people have to destroy the forest to get land to grow corn and get a little food and money from that corn. Meanwhile, the money to buy a landrover car ( pice in Việt Nam like Lanrover defender) can help 10 families plant and take care of 10 ha of forest in 10 years.
@Pe Ba Really? 🤪
We must plant hemp! As many as possible, hectare of hemp consumes more carbon dioxide than any forest hectare and needs only 6-8 months to grow! Also can make plastic, paper, good, clothes with hemp, I'm not joking!
People keep saying about how William is rich and privileged so he shouldn’t talk about this for any number of reasons.
The poor and rich game is the oldest in the world, his parents made him into wealth, yours and mine gave birth to us into ordinary life. The only people who had a choice our births are our parents.
Well anyway, As a Brit, I am really very proud of Williams and Kate represent for our country, and William has always been a through gentleman and his kindness is evident ♥️♥️♥️
Love him 💙👑🇬🇧👏
This is what a true prince is very elegant and fullfilling duties with compassion. Someone that Harry is not. Prince William deserves to be the heir. He is really working so hard to make a difference together with his wife.
Shut up you don’t know anything about these people
The Royals are outdated like it’s not even funny anymore , they are well over their time .
Monarchism is a criminal act. Monarchism is a crime against humanity, the wholesale theft of a country's assets by a single family who then live on it like its a luxury version of welfare. Monarchs should be deposed and imprisoned, not fawned over by media, including all the horrifying "royal" despots who terrorize the middle east, not just the British "royals". Don't forget to tell William to turn out the lights in his castles and palaces, paid for by British tax dollars he pilfered from his British subjects.
@FPV DR3 and I’ll stick to my clean water and air and clean Hydro energy thank you !
I don’t know if it’s me who misunderstood or the media but prince William said to focus first on this planet and not try to find another place to live which is an argument left to an open debate, here I got hat both idea are important nowadays but first he invites the greatest thinkers to give a shot on sustainable environment as well. Media trying to make headline is distracting me with thinking about prince William words
He has the most charming smile! Like Lady Diana! Soft, sweet, reserved, and mysteriously delicious and piping hot! 😍😻❤💖💝 oh one heart is particularly reserved for Louis! ❤
You're a beautiful young man William❤️ your mother would be so proud of you. I am and I'm just an older lady living on the other side of the world. Bless you and your family always🙏⭐ you are a great hope for the future❤️🌏🪐🌕🙏🌸🇦🇺🐦🦋🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I quite agree,space travel isn't exactly a priority.. Billionaires being bored again and not in touch with the planet..!
i understand what you're saying but i think space travel wont only benefit billionaires
myofb its their money
It's their money to do whatever.....why doesn't master Willy dish out some of the RF Billions!!!!!!
says the guy who was born a prince and lives in a castle. if you care about the world so much, fix it yourself. And while youre at it, return the wealth that you looted from different colonies.
Well said bro 👏
His grandmother is the richest woman on the planet. How about not worrying about the entire planet, maybe using that wealth to benefit the people of the UK!
Wow instead of helping the world now you want him to return what his family stole decades ago wow. People like you are the ones destroying this planet, who cannot move on and cannot for the love god do something to actually help this planet. At least the prince is using his reach/popularity to do something about it. What are you doing instead of writing comments on CZcams.
( I am actively investing in Bios urns so no need to use my comment against me)
@@thoda_pyo_6946 not only u even most of us we working on restoring the planet... What are u doing by just reading comments.... So don't act too smart just go
@@montycasper4300 Would be a good point if what you said was true. Queen Elizabeth is no where near the richest woman on the planet.
Agree 100% with the sentiment.
Very Charming and Bright.
Ready to take the Top job.
I like to think of the human race as a body. The heart pumps, the lungs breathe, the stomach digests. They all have their roles. If a part of humanity is focused on space travel maybe we shouldn't judge their role and instead focus on the one that burns in us. To critique those acting while not acting it's counter-productive
It's absolutely ridiculous to waste resources to try and colonize planets that are not even suitable for the survival of the human race. These billionaire space idiots need to appreciate what a truly beautiful planet Earth is, and how to make it better. Concentrating on life on Mars without worrying about life on Earth is like concentrating on the hereafter instead of the current life.
@@positivepessimist6853 my limited understanding of space travel would lead me to believe that there are also resources in space. Being that we don't know the end of it, it could be a new pool of resources to pull from. Not taking advantage of that could be like holding our hand to keep a nickel when a dollar is being offered.
@@DamonPlantaseed There's resources right here on earth that haven't been tapped yet! There is enough to sustain us right here on earth. What possible resources could they have on other planets that we could need and how do we even know if it's safe to bring that stuff back to Earth? Look what happens if you take stuff from one country to another, say a plant, and it contains a bug that kills all the other plants. How do we know that we wouldn't be bringing something back that could wipe us all out? That's the problem with humans, we don't know when to leave well enough alone. We've got covid, what if a space explorer brought back something far, far worse???
@@positivepessimist6853 yeah those are great points. But that thinking would have cancelled all exploration through human history. It's who we are. Where would we be without that risk? I think with larger problems than the ones we have now
@@DamonPlantaseed Exploring Earth is fine. Those risks we can manage. Heading out into far space, we don't know what we could potentially discover, including hostile aliens looking for resources of their own. There could be beings on distant planets with way better technology than us who could come here and wipe us all out and take Earth for their own. Remember how countries were colonized and exploited on earth, with many of the indigenous people killed or enslaved? That could very well happen to us by beings from other planets. We don't know who's out there and who's peaceful and who's not.
Oh dear this went down like a lead balloon
Branson couldn’t give an F about it.
He will do his virtue signalling and all the rest of it.
But he has always promoted huge carbon footprint biz, not least being first class air travel through virgin, now promoting space tourism and virgin cruises etc. Not to mention his own massive personal carbon footprint running his island life and transport to and from for him and all the staff and friends etc
I find it hard to get my head around it to be honest
Yes, Space travel and space activities are one of the main reason for climate change 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and nature in many ways including human being, birds, animals and even forests🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Building new houses that arent adequately insulated nor are they environmentally friendly and over pricing them... 👏🏼
The whole of the UK only accounts for 1% of emissions, whereas China accounts for nearly 30% of emissions. That exceeds all developed nations combined.
@@crow2967 add to that 1% all the emissions produced by all the chinese products we use here in the UK .. no cheating! 🤣
Time to get rid of the Royal Family.
space tourism is billionaire wank. Yes or no?
The hypocrisy from the biggest carbon emitting family on the planet, you could not make this circus up
@@public.public why don't you answer your own question Troll❓
I don't think he understands what an orbit is
I'm sure he does know generally though not all the detailed intricacies on how it works.
@@wendyhla7097 He said you something to the effect of: you can still fall down to earth because you are still in orbit where gravity can still effect you. That's now how orbit works. This shows a huge lack of understanding of basic physics as well.
Right on Prince 🤴 👌 💜 William!!! How many barrels of Oil for craft production? How many barrels for each launch? Humans cannot fix what is here on this beautiful garden planet....only as strong 💪 as the WEAKEST LINK.
Aw give us a rest from your ivory tower
Totally agreed.
I met people like him in London and they were English too and they like Wiliam sound like care but in reality there were just empty words as he could even care at all about my life and know what I really want to do as lies is all he wanted and they way he worked is always about just give so tiny of anything and pretend that is all he could do that William sound exactly like him
Space exploration is the best catalyst for technological development and pushes the frontier in every regard, so we shouldn‘t stop, we should intensify it. There is no saving the world without it. People who say we shouldn‘t go to space have no idea how many
of our innovations are a direct consequence of Space exploration.
It's not like the days of NASA being the only space program. These days, those tech developments would be directly in the hands of Musk and Bezos. Do you think they would use them for the benefit of mankind? We have an urgent problem here to solve. The race to Mars is important, but lets recognize the priorities. Billions of people have nowhere else to go.
This is so true. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. We can bring humanity to space and solve climate change. I think some people are just very cynical of human progress in general. Elon is doing so many great things for humanity. He has helped us get electric cars more than anyone, how can this guy sit here and say he needs to focus on solving climate change? If you’re so concerned about climate change then why don’t you do something about it? Don’t put it on other “great minds”, use your own great mind dude.
@@adeptavatar9394 True, but I think this “going to mars” saying is understood poorly by many people. Everyone seems to think that the plan is to build a luxury hotel on mars where all the rich people can go. In reality there will be very few people in the next hundred years that will go there, if it works out. And those people won’t be living the good life. It will be extremely dangerous, lonely and bad for their health. That’s what it means to be at the forefront of exploration. I don’t think any billionaires will go. Mars won’t be an alternative to earth and it won’t be a sanctuary for the “rich earthlings”, like many people seem to think. But the things we will discover and develop along the way will benefit humanity.
@@mathew3103 Absolutely!
The last people I want to hear from on matters of the day are royals.
"royals"
Why not?
