Jeff Bezos Says Most People Won’t Be Able to Live on Earth

Posted by in categories: habitats, space travel

Jeff Bezos thinks the Earth will be like a protected national park in the future — and maybe even a hot cosmic tourist attraction.

The Amazon and Blue Origin founder spoke at the 2021 Ignatius Forum last Wednesday about the future of space travel. During the discussion, he made the eyebrow-raising comment that most people won’t even be born on Earth one day and that it might even turn into a tourist destination for space colonizers, according to RealClearPolitics.

Musk has a solution for NASA’s Artemis 1 problem

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

After NASA scrubbed it’s uncrewed Artemis 1 mission due to hydrogen leakage problem, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shares a possible solution.

On Saturday, NASA called off Artemis 1 launch because of Hydrogen leakage. Engineers spent around 3 hours to fix the problem but ultimately failed and the launch was cancelled. The current launch window will close on Tuesday and if NASA failed to fix the problem before that then they have to wait until late September or early October for launch.

NASA said “Because of the complex orbital mechanics involved in launching to the Moon, we would have had to launch Artemis I by Tuesday, Sept. 6 as part of the current launch period”.

Has an Artificial-Intelligence Revolution Happened at Other Points in the Universe

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space travel

“As humans we should be proud of any AI systems we bring to existence, as if they were our children. In just the same way as we educate our kids, we could endow such systems with the blueprint for their future interaction with the world,” observes Harvard astrophysicist, Avi Loeb in an email to The Daily Galaxy. “This would include our preferred set of values, goals and guiding principles, which will enable them to learn from experience and cope with reality,” he adds. “Ultimately, we may launch our AI systems for interstellar travel towards distant destinations, such as habitable planets around other stars, where they could reproduce themselves with the help of accompanying 3D printers.
