Bezos Is Bonkers

According to this report, Jeff Bezos thinks there can be one trillion humans living in our solar system:

Dear Jeff - I hate to pee on your cornflakes, but here are some inconvenient facts:

  • Earth can barely support the nearly 8 billion we already have;
  • Mars and the Moon have no atmosphere, and they are much smaller than Earth; and
  • All the other planets are extremely inhospitable.

Have you been watching "The Wrath of Khan" again? Terraforming will be a LOT harder than what was depicted in the movie.

It's great to have dreams, but I'm too old to chase after your BS schemes.
