Jeff Bezos at VivaTech: We need to colonise the Moon to save Earth

▤ Summary

Jeff Bezos used VivaTech to argue that humanity should move heavy industry off Earth and build a permanent lunar base before attempting Mars. He framed the moon as a practical staging point because of its proximity, lower gravity, and potential access to water ice and raw materials. He also tied Blue Origin’s long-term space vision to economic growth and environmental preservation. In a separate point, he described Prometheus as an AI venture meant to shorten engineering cycles and speed up physical product design.
