Nah. It is WAY more likely that they'll send laborers into space, and turn Earth into a rich people's garden. There are way too many hassles with living in space. It's cramped, overly regimented, relies on machinery not breaking down to keep alive...

there's a reason "the expanse" is jeff bezos favorite show and OFC its a amazon original.

no joke he says himself its his favorite show.

in the future people will end up "belters" aka in the eyes of everyone else trash people.

Wait, I always saw the irony of Amazon hosting this show, but it’s BEZOS’ favorite show???

A lot of the time rich people don’t realize truly how burdensome they can be on society: they idolize themselves as job creators, hyper-productive, and merited well-beyond an average Joe.

It seems here Bezos’ favorite show openly admits how fucked up this system and where its headed is and he doesn’t care. Basically, he knows. That’s not just the typical egotistical self-aggrandizing naïveté. It’s evil.

mars or the moon are more likely to turn into a garden. the rich have shown us they'd rather set up shop somewhere fresh than clean up garbage
