Amazon boss Jeff Bezos wants to send a TRILLION people to space with Blue Origin project

“Think how incredible and dynamic that civilisation will be.”

However, the Amazon chief admits “we don’t have forever” which is why Blue Origin is working on a “low-cost, highly operable, reusable launch vehicle”.

Mr Bezos continued: “I really want that dynamic life and civilisation for our grandchildren’s grandchildren. But we’ve got to get started.”

The 55-year old, who is the first centi-billionaire, thus making him the richest man in the world, wants to use the same entrepreneurialism that Mark Zuckerberg used to start Facebook.
