@@Juleskiii788 if that were me I would take out a car equivalent loan to travel in space, and I'm against borrowing anything. An average middle class person can afford a car, a flight etc, today in cash, in the early years that was impossible for everyone but the rich. Yes not everyone on earth will be able to afford it right away, or at all, but we shouldn't wait until everyone can afford it before we proceed, we have to proceed first to absorb resources from the wealthy, in order to reduce the price so that more people can do what every generation before us could only dream of. Imagine if traveling to space was only a loan away..
thanks for the optimism so much anti this or that or trying to poke holes in a plan that has been iterated upon for decades that Jeff only brushed over.
Lol the whole reason there's a middle class at all is due to unionization, philanthropy, and redistributed tax wealth. Henry Ford paid his employees a living wage, but Bezos makes his employees sweat for scraps. I can't afford a car because I made the mistake of earning an education in America, where the rich have captured the government, dodged taxes, and reduced govt spending on vital programs. I'll be punished for 20 years with student debt. Meanwhile, this asshole doesn't even pay federal taxes. TAX THE RICH
@Charles Yuditsky That--how to extract the lunar water--was figured out decades ago by industrial engineers such as Neil P. Ruzic, as he described in his 1970 (non-SF) book of projected future lunar history, titled "Where the Winds Sleep," and his 1965 book "The Case For Going to the Moon."
Humans are born explorers, it's great to see we are exploring again. I wish you all the very best. The entire human race needs this not only for a better future for all Earth species, but for our survival.
How can anybody disagree with the fact that we need some fantastic goals to aim for. At the very least, we, as a species, need an off-world repository of science and learning, to act as a backup should something dreadful befall our way of life. Plato foresaw the difficulties that we would face when population thresholds were reached, but he new that humans would rise to the challenge.
No one can, really. But we all must try. Organizing our Priorities is our greatest tool if we are able to survive. You don't put down a weapon to use it for later if a threat is charging your position. You use your weapon first, and then act out your safekeeping practice. Just as we do not put off threatening and facing problems of today's world to invest in our space faring future. You solve your most threatening issues first, and then advance your future.
There are plenty of people / organizations / government agencies that are working on our *most pressing problems*; I am glad there are some individuals and companies who are willing to put their efforts into attempting to solve the long-term problems. Thank you and good luck, Mr. Musk and Mr. Bezos (to name a couple).
dude, Nathan I love listening to JRE podcasts and Jeff would be a great guest... one of his latest episodes with Jamie Metzl was very interesting as well, not space related but futuristic in nature.
I've always been a huge SpaceX fan, and I like them as a company more because of the way that they handle PR and interact with the public. That said I think it looks like Blue Origin has the better plan. They are taking this at the right pace, and they are making good business decisions at all turns. I love SpaceX, and I believe that they will be the ones to open the space frontier and take us to mars, but I think Blue Origin will be the company that *truly* changes our culture as we know it.
so you think make O'Neil cylinder much better than possible teraforming a planet? you know i believe in jeff, but it is elon version of colonizing space is much inspiring. He just not solving problem but what his doing is more adventure.. rather solving a single planet but a moving planet not just in this solar system but in other star system... that was more incredible.. tha creating a space infrastructure..
@@mujahidacmad6196 Terraforming mars is a pipe dream scientifically. You may be able to do so short-term but the atmosphere WILL bleed off and you will need to create a global magnetic shield due to the lack of an active core. So yes, O'Neils are more realistic for the time being.
I'm still young and hope that one day I can participate in this exciting vision of our human presence in space. Thank you Jeff, you just put in words what I've been thinking for so long! Viva Blue Origin!
I bought the ebook The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by professor Gerard O'neill. My understanding is that the author makes a detailed case for why life in space could be an incredible outcome for humanity. I'm a millennial/gen-Z but I'm super stoked to appreciate the optimism that surrounded people's visions of the future back in the day. We could do with a bit of old fashioned futurism right about now. Thanks for resetting the vision, Jeff. I get it.
After comparing each company's plans for civilian space travel, I'm willing to bet that Blue Origin will end up being more profitable because of their vision to actually colonize and inhabit space, not Mars.
@@shooterguitari328 Bezos was actually planning on doing this type of space exploration stuff when he was a teenager in high school, long before Elon Musk was planning on doing this. Elon started later than Jeff but Elon was very aggressive in taking risks (Elon traveled to Russia and he reached out to the Russians for help) and this is why Elon progressed much more rapidly than Jeff Bezos did in terms of getting into orbit and getting to the international space station first.
I worked at a factory, and one of the engineers would reply over the phone to British customers with something about how we got to the moon with lbs when they would make fun of us.
Thanks Jeff for bringing these important problems/solutions to light, we need everyone working on this! We can each play a part, this is a huge undertaking, essentially building planets.
They could use asteroids, meteors, etc, I forget which is which meteor or meteorite, but hey would collect these from rocks from space, reducing people doesn’t help
What would it take to be positive?... just for a minute... with space colonies there will be material and energy bundance for all therefore no crime except for the mentlly ill and with new space meds mental illness would be cured... a paradise for humanity worth living for and worth working hard to achieve
It tremendously inspired me! It's amazing. I want to live and being a part of this big project. Not in Blue Moon, but in general. I'm totally agree with the idea, that Big things start small.
Incredibly inspiring! I actually teared up at the end of the presentation because I have many concerns about the future of this big blue marble called Earth and all of its creatures. This gives me some hope and a whole new respect for the richest man in the world!
Me too, New Glenn is going to be able to loft around 8-10 tonnes to the moon (iirc), and seeing as BO is saying they could take between 3.6 and 6.5 tonnes of cargo, I'm assuming that they are probably going to use the second stage.
Ok blue origin is much more interesting than i thought, i love how space x and blue origin each strive for different end goals yet both of them agree on so much on what's important to make it work, i think they both couldn't ask for better rivals as far as space lunches go. It's like the Apple and Microsoft of space. Both started "small" with radical ideas and stuff that seem low tech by todays standards, imagine in the future showing new Glenn and the Starship and saying "this is all we had back then"
It was a gift if you consider something 1/3 of the size of mars smashing into the earth and releasing a giant blob of magma into space :P That day was arguably the most catastrophic day in earths history
Intriguing,... The Asimov interview is 5 years after Ringworld was published, and about 40 years after the first mention of a Dyson Sphere type concept. Ambitious, it'll be interesting to see if they can pull it off, and the competition it'll create with US and International space program providers will be good for everyone.
This idea ( look at the size of this thing we are talking centuries from Now me , you, our Great Grandchildren won't live to see this thing if ever) its actually easier to colonize Mars then build these Huge Artificial Planets.
Yeah, I noticed that, too. I should note Asimov was a serious egomaniac ~ yes, I am a fan of his, so don't sweat ~ and you'll note he really only refers to himself and his own thought process. Not a word about Ringworld, yet surely he knew about the book, and had perhaps even read it, though I doubt that.
The beauty of capitalism is that the vision can't be horded. Jeff got rich because he provided enough value to people to make them chose to give him money. Not because he's hording cash. Also, he's already got a bunch of competitors that will bring space to the masses if he doesn't so we're good either way.
Ya...you'd think he could do it in a hearbeat, but the truth is he's a total con artist who will NEVER deliver anything but CGI and basic flying devices.
@@optimine I question your intelligence if you think a single person could solve world hunger lol. The places suffering from hunger have corrupt governments that oppress their people. How would he solve that?
Bezos has the right idea (more Earth like solution, and it has 1G). Musk has the conviction (he actually plans to get things moving in his lifetime). Now imagine if Bezos and Musk had a lovechild (not too vividly).
actually the question Prof. O'Neill asked in 1969 was "Is a planetary surface the best place for an expanding technological civilization?" friendly fact check at 13:09
The more smart people we have working on the future, the better. This is very exciting! I hope more people get optimistic of the future like it was years ago.
@@ThisNoName I don't have a great life and my life has many negative things that happened in my life and the thought of living forever is not in my thoughts , since the comment is about the future then, that something will be achieved by scientist
Beautiful vision. *Make it happen Sir Bezos !* We have very beautiful nature and animals on our planet. We can set a mission to export nature to other planets. That would be a very meaningful mission for humanity, because helping our nature to spread to other planets is like helping our mother to do her housework :-) Let's see if we ever grow a forest on Mars or the Moon.
@Friday Goood I do support Jeff Bezos but he has taken two decades to make rockets and all he has to show for it is his new sheperd. While Elon has had almost the same amount of time but has his Falcon 9 rocket and his Falcon heavy, and is working on the starship and has been having major success.
@Friday Goood I'm just saying Elon has actually accomplished a lot of stuff. But I still support Jeff Bezos, I think both of there visions for the future are great
@FridayGood SpaceX is moving faster than BO, you can’t deny that. I don’t say BO is the worst, but it doesn’t seem like Bezos is putting his whole life to space technology.
@FridayGood Right now, if I talk about Jeff, Im talking about BO and if i say Elon its about spacex. and i do think BO is a little too slow and steady with their things. They might not be ready with the New Glenn by 2024 if the only thing they do is test the New Shepherd. They should start testing out the New Glenn Parts if they want to go to the moon.
www.neom.com/ Its a new global project being constructed in Saudi Arabia. 33x bigger than New York City. I believe it to be the next HUB for Machine & Human integration. Which is not a bad thing. We will be ok.
@Marc Howard i guess the difference is that countries have independence and self determination. It would be easier for entrepreneurs if that wasn't the case.
Perhaps of J B taking a piss at everybody else. “Fake reuse ability”. Get out of here. Until BO constructs a gets a rocket to orbit and back. Please don’t stab everyone else. Love the vision. But his tone is terrible.
@@Spelpojken He is not stabbing anyone....he is just stating facts. Perhaps the reuse efficiency of SpaceX will increase as well as their number of times for rocket reuse and the cost to refurbish, but right now Jeff is simply speaking facts.
Rico Melchert, I caught that tone, too, but Elon is a big boy and he hasn’t done anything to help squelch their rivalry. I’m a fan of all these space companies though. Regardless, a healthy competition between these two will pay dividends to our entire species.
Because funding for space exploration and manned spaceflight is very limited and this plan A) does away with the goal of colonization of other planets - in favor of staying near Earth in large space stations & on the Moon & B) might cut off the only other company seriously pushing for Mars - by inserting this Moon lander in between. If Bezos was aiming for the colonization of other planets as well this wouldn't be an issue at all. But he isn't. In this very video he states twice how much he is opposed to the idea. And yet it's him who has all the money to fund his vision while SpaceX can't even fully fund Starship. If this gets between them then SpaceX might not be able to continue.
That didn´t age well... It is 2021 and: 1) New Shepard has not yet flown with humans on board 2) New Glenn will not fly in 2021 and only mockup parts exist 3) NASA has chosen to use Spacex´s Starship as their Human Landing System, ditching BO´s lunar lander in the process
I also watched the landing on moon when I was a child ;-) To watch the Apollo Missions in television (black/white) was so great and I was totally disappointed, when this big adenture of mankind stopped. I hope it's coming back.... .
I'm not going to lie, I've been a little standoff-ish about this for much of the presentation but I did find it inspiring for him to say that our generation will build the infrastructure but our grand kids and children will use it.
God I love this kind of stuff. What a great presentation. Space is wonderfully inspiring but not quite so inspiring as some people can be. Fantastic job Jeff.
Mark, you nailed it with the first word in your comment “God” I believe our Creator~GOD is the most inspiring... AND Jeff Bezos, with “his GOD~given platform” has the chance to change the world, with GOD’s Help, if he so choses. In my search of words, “Heavens declare” at BibleGateway.com The following results are revealed. Amazing site (check it out) enJ🌞Y Psalm 19:1 [ The Perfect Revelation of the Lord ] [ To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. ] “The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.” Psalm 50:6 Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah Psalm 97:6 The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory.
@@yokclauver1178 I have had profound religious experiences in my life so I know what it is to see the world through the prism of spiritual engagement. However your comment could only be of value to a fellow believer, a young person susceptible to indoctrination or an ignorant person in need of a better sense of identity. I am none of these.
Jeff is all about Jeff at this point, BUT He is correct when he says Earth is a special place really... on UA-cam check out Loui Giglio’s Vid clip “How Great is our God” to put the God~created Earth in perspective to all else that exists in known universe 👍
@@yokclauver1178 If 'you' are not able to convey what you know then you do not know it. Everyone in the world is enamored with something such that they cannot imagine others would not be. I personally have read the true word Gigligak and learned the one true knowledge without which we must die in ignorance. Unfortunately 'the people of the world' are doomed because they will not read or do not know about Gigligak. It is my sacred duty therefore either to pass on my knowledge or else simply to say, at every oportunity to the ignorant masses of the world' Read the Gigligak!!! I suspect you have no interest in 'The Truth' because you are busy reveling in the delusion that you know 'The Truth'.
Every time I see these sort of images of an O'Neil ring, or Niven Ring, or any sort of massive structure like that, all I can think of is what happens to all that open space and exposed structres in the event of a hull breach. Easiest way is to just have houses, buildings, and such be their own pressure vessels for an emergency, with separated sections with relatively small openings between that can be closed, but you're still writing off massive areas and everyone exposed in them if there's any hole or impact bigger than a meter or so.
Your problem with that image is the dirt? The dirt comes from the Moon, which you can launch from there with a fart. What about the non existing materials required to keep that thing together and to withstand / self-repair damage? If something big enough pierces that habitat, your air is gone forever. You'd need back up air for the whole population. and if that fails, _everyone_ is dead. I'm convinced the firsts habitats will be on the moon where we will have at first enough water and caves to store all the backup air we'll need. There we will learn how to survive atmospheric accidents, and _then_ we can go orbital.
At 23:20 he mentions it is vital to NOT haul all that dirt into orbit. There is plenty of stuff into orbit already, you just need to haul what you need to turn it into fertile soil, water, building materials, etc.
@@nikolatasev4948 The Moon is full of dirt and you can launch it to LEO for "free". No need to haul anything and the provision will be constant and as fast as you can load the mass driver.
Great presentation and poignant. Impressed and delighted. Bezos has been a quiet achiever with Blue Origin, so this informed me a lot. We’re behind you Blue Origin, let’s get this started.
We need to work on an Autonomous Self-Replicating Industry. It could be huge excavators, surveyors, loaders, haulers, crushers, seperators, smelters, mold casters, part casters, grinders, assemblers, 3D printers, molecular manufactutures, etc. Each self-driving equipment can be powered by 1MW thorium reactors. They wouldn't be able to self-replicate individually but if they work together they could build more of themselves to increase their industrial capacity. I was looking at construction equipment and a lot of the ones I listed are already available in mobile form. We might not have general AI yet but we could build expert software to control everything. I think it's great Elon and Jeff are shaking things up and inspiring and pushing to reduce cost but we need someone working on the other gate!
The one thing I love about this guy is his command of facts and statistics. It would be nice if they were able to start launching New Glenn earlier than 2021 so they can move forward at a faster pace. 453 seconds of specific impulse is amazing on the 10K lb thrust new engine.
There was a time when we didn't even have one serious player ready to democratize access to space. We could only dream about it. Now we have two. It's a blessing.
Ok. Well is the second stage resuable? If it is, why do the payloads walls have to be discharged? if the second stage is in outer space, there will be no wind, so having the payload walls open wouldnt be an issue. allowing the payload out, then close during reentry...
Katty bat It’s good that they aren’t, competition drives innovation. I cannot wait for more companies to rise up and compete to spur on an even higher exponential advancement in technology!
A very good presentation overall. I'm not a big BO follower but this is a positive step in selling the concept of space travel to the public. If only they would be more open about these events, more people should see this than just nerds like me.
I really hope that people in the future will grow spiritually and realise that we don't need to consume material things to be happy. Otherwise we will be the cancer for the whole space. We are thinking about space travel as a way to sell products and services. Humanity should live in a moneyless system. Where everybody works not to consume, but to provide.
What happens when you begin extracting material from the moon thus affecting its gravity and led to same principle as that of earth; what happens then?
@@christianfieldhouse902 SpaceX Grasshopper an F9Dev landed a long time before the New Shepard. Granted, they didn't reach the Karman line, but that was never their objective.
@@christianfieldhouse902,. Karman Line vs LEO with a payload,... New Shepard is better compared to Virgin Galactic then to Falcon9. And in that regard, B.O. is still in second place, if one counts the designs first passing of the Karman line in 2004, by Spaceship One.
@@PiDsPagePrototypes I know B.o. are doing less commercially etc. SpqceX are still figuring out reusability though, and didn't originate the idea (as some people may guess). I just thought op wasn't entirely fair: Besos isn't copying the idea of reusability
Ultimately? Mass. Those walls on the oneill cylanders by necessity need to be thick. Another thing is unlike a planet they are more portable. If you can make an asteroid go off target by even a fraction of a degree your talking. Miles of buffer zones.
I'm a little bit older than Jeff. And like him, I read and got excited about Dr Gerard O'Neill's ideas by reading his book, "The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space" back in '75 as a High School senior. And I recommend that all of you, do whatever you can to find a copy of that book, and READ IT! Jeff is one of the only people on the planet who can help make this dream come true, and he seems to have the vision. But I have just a couple of small criticisms... "HOW are we going to build these O'Neill Colonies? Nobody knows..." Yes, we do. And it's one of the main topics of the book. As you said, the billions of tons of material needed for construction CAN'T be brought from the surface - the cost of rocket transport is too high. It will be done by asteroid mining and launching material from the Moon by way of a device called a Mass Driver. These technologies are as important to build and master as the Colony itself. TALK about them - let your audience know that it's possible. And second... Jeff... Mr Bezos... You have the money, you have the vision, you have the power... But you need a spokesperson. You need a Neil DeGrasse Tyson, a Brian Cox, even a James Burke - a person who knows how to weave a talk into a story that *inspires* - and with all due respect to your other strengths, Mr Bezos, that isn't one of yours. You're not as weird as Elon, have the voice inflections of a Sagan, or can put people on the edges of their seats like the best motivational speakers. Find a Jobs to your Wozniak. This is going to take everything you've got - and we WANT this to succeed as much as you do. Please give it the best possible chance!
You can't even imagine the amount of resources out there. If we can make access to space cheap enough with reusable rockets and spacecraft there are virtually unlimited resources in the solar system that could feed a trillion people for millions of years.
@@221b-l3t agree this type of thinking and action is our best bet to sustain our civilization beyond our planet's limitations. Love how Bezos can go from selling books online to credibly present plans for how to extend the existence of the human race in 20 years' time
@@antonvedel3028 Selling books online is a nice euphemism for predatory pricing every book store out of business, meaning selling at a loss until the competition is gone, once virtual monopoly is achieved raise prices back to original and completely own the market. ;) That's illegal in many places in the world and quite a few states in the US. Hard to prove though so Bezos is good on that front. Now he just has to catch up with Elon on the rocket company front. Which might be very hard to do unless SpaceX fails.
I admire both Elon and Bezos. Elon is going really fast and i love that he is pushing the industry but still i prefer the vision of Bezos. Space and ONeals cylinders are the way to go and the fact that he realises that he is not going to construct those but the logistic and infraestructure for others to make it, its amazing

I bought the ebook The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space by professor Gerard O'neill. My understanding is that the author makes a detailed case for why life in space could be an incredible outcome for humanity. I'm a millennial/gen-Z but I'm super stoked to appreciate the optimism that surrounded people's visions of the future back in the day. We could do with a bit of old fashioned futurism right about now. Thanks for resetting the vision, Jeff. I get it.
Jeff will build the first O'Neill cylinder and name it New O'Neill.
Now that would be cool:-)
@Alain Portant You know, New Shepard, New Glenn, so New O'Neill
But at Blue Origin's pace, not until 2356. Too much _Graditum,_ not enough _Ferociter._
@@cacogenicist Good joke)
And the next ones will be New Carter, New Jackson... Hey he did mention passing gates some of those are stargates right? ;)
After comparing each company's plans for civilian space travel, I'm willing to bet that Blue Origin will end up being more profitable because of their vision to actually colonize and inhabit space, not Mars.
This is just simply cool
Bezos is a copy cat, even doing same presentation, LOL SPACEX WILL BURN YOU BO
At the time at least...
@@shooterguitari328 Bezos was actually planning on doing this type of space exploration stuff when he was a teenager in high school, long before Elon Musk was planning on doing this. Elon started later than Jeff but Elon was very aggressive in taking risks (Elon traveled to Russia and he reached out to the Russians for help) and this is why Elon progressed much more rapidly than Jeff Bezos did in terms of getting into orbit and getting to the international space station first.
Jeff is lifting things into space, today is the future. Sci-fi is becoming reality. But he still says pounds.
I worked at a factory, and one of the engineers would reply over the phone to British customers with something about how we got to the moon with lbs when they would make fun of us.
He isn't though, Blue Origin is yet to reach orbit

Thanks Jeff for bringing these important problems/solutions to light, we need everyone working on this! We can each play a part, this is a huge undertaking, essentially building planets.
good point... we should all do what we can to help make this happen... form clubs.. spread the word... write congress

I'm finally convinced that Blue Origin isn't a joke.

@@gareth0256 nope SpaceX is much bigger

It tremendously inspired me! It's amazing. I want to live and being a part of this big project. Not in Blue Moon, but in general. I'm totally agree with the idea, that Big things start small.
Incredibly inspiring! I actually teared up at the end of the presentation because I have many concerns about the future of this big blue marble called Earth and all of its creatures. This gives me some hope and a whole new respect for the richest man in the world!
I'm curious as to if the New Glenn 2nd stag or the Blue Moon will be making the TLI burn.
Me too, New Glenn is going to be able to loft around 8-10 tonnes to the moon (iirc), and seeing as BO is saying they could take between 3.6 and 6.5 tonnes of cargo, I'm assuming that they are probably going to use the second stage.
I think they will use the 3-stage version for going to the moon. So the third stage will make the TLI, and maybe also the LOI.
fs2728, good points. I agree with you.
fs2728 3rd stage variant has been cancelled
It will use the second stage without a doubt. The blue moon most likely does not have enough Delta V for a TLI burn and a landing with usable payload.
Ok blue origin is much more interesting than i thought, i love how space x and blue origin each strive for different end goals yet both of them agree on so much on what's important to make it work, i think they both couldn't ask for better rivals as far as space lunches go.
It's like the Apple and Microsoft of space.
Both started "small" with radical ideas and stuff that seem low tech by todays standards, imagine in the future showing new Glenn and the Starship and saying "this is all we had back then"
I like the refreshing sense of humility in referring to the Moon as a gift.
It was a gift if you consider something 1/3 of the size of mars smashing into the earth and releasing a giant blob of magma into space :P That day was arguably the most catastrophic day in earths history
Good luck Blue Origin ! Your success is important to all humanity.

Ambitious, it'll be interesting to see if they can pull it off, and the competition it'll create with US and International space program providers will be good for everyone.
This idea ( look at the size of this thing we are talking centuries from Now me , you, our Great Grandchildren won't live to see this thing if ever) its actually easier to colonize Mars then build these Huge Artificial Planets.
@@AlbertoMartinez765 I'd bet on the Moon's of the Gas Giants being next after our Moon and Mars.
Yeah, I noticed that, too. I should note Asimov was a serious egomaniac ~ yes, I am a fan of his, so don't sweat ~ and you'll note he really only refers to himself and his own thought process. Not a word about Ringworld, yet surely he knew about the book, and had perhaps even read it, though I doubt that.
If anyone can do it, the richest man in the world can.
Wish you luck Jeff but I hope this vision is shared and not horded.
The beauty of capitalism is that the vision can't be horded. Jeff got rich because he provided enough value to people to make them chose to give him money. Not because he's hording cash. Also, he's already got a bunch of competitors that will bring space to the masses if he doesn't so we're good either way.

Beautiful vision. *Make it happen Sir Bezos !*
We have very beautiful nature and animals on our planet. We can set a mission to export nature to other planets. That would be a very meaningful mission for humanity, because helping our nature to spread to other planets is like helping our mother to do her housework :-)
Let's see if we ever grow a forest on Mars or the Moon.
Jeff Bezos is going at a snail's pace while elon musk has actually been accomplishing what he promised
@Friday Goood I do support Jeff Bezos but he has taken two decades to make rockets and all he has to show for it is his new sheperd. While Elon has had almost the same amount of time but has his Falcon 9 rocket and his Falcon heavy, and is working on the starship and has been having major success.
@Friday Goood I'm just saying Elon has actually accomplished a lot of stuff. But I still support Jeff Bezos, I think both of there visions for the future are great
@FridayGood SpaceX is moving faster than BO, you can’t deny that. I don’t say BO is the worst, but it doesn’t seem like Bezos is putting his whole life to space technology.
@FridayGood Right now, if I talk about Jeff, Im talking about BO and if i say Elon its about spacex. and i do think BO is a little too slow and steady with their things. They might not be ready with the New Glenn by 2024 if the only thing they do is test the New Shepherd. They should start testing out the New Glenn Parts if they want to go to the moon.

@@Spelpojken He is not stabbing anyone....he is just stating facts. Perhaps the reuse efficiency of SpaceX will increase as well as their number of times for rocket reuse and the cost to refurbish, but right now Jeff is simply speaking facts.
dbreardon reusing part of a rocket, is not fake reusability.
Rico Melchert, I caught that tone, too, but Elon is a big boy and he hasn’t done anything to help squelch their rivalry. I’m a fan of all these space companies though. Regardless, a healthy competition between these two will pay dividends to our entire species.
Because funding for space exploration and manned spaceflight is very limited and this plan A) does away with the goal of colonization of other planets - in favor of staying near Earth in large space stations & on the Moon & B) might cut off the only other company seriously pushing for Mars - by inserting this Moon lander in between. If Bezos was aiming for the colonization of other planets as well this wouldn't be an issue at all. But he isn't. In this very video he states twice how much he is opposed to the idea. And yet it's him who has all the money to fund his vision while SpaceX can't even fully fund Starship. If this gets between them then SpaceX might not be able to continue.
It's so true when Jeff bezos said "Big things Start Small" ... I tell women that all the time .... 🚀

I have same in mind! ha ha ha

Sign me up!! I would love to commit the next few decades of my life to helping to make this happen.
That didn´t age well... It is 2021 and:
1) New Shepard has not yet flown with humans on board
2) New Glenn will not fly in 2021 and only mockup parts exist
3) NASA has chosen to use Spacex´s Starship as their Human Landing System, ditching BO´s lunar lander in the process
I also watched the landing on moon when I was a child ;-)
To watch the Apollo Missions in television (black/white) was so great and I was totally disappointed, when this big adenture of mankind stopped. I hope it's coming back....

I'm not going to lie, I've been a little standoff-ish about this for much of the presentation but I did find it inspiring for him to say that our generation will build the infrastructure but our grand kids and children will use it.
He will charge arm and a leg for that privilege. It wont be cheap or free.
God I love this kind of stuff. What a great presentation. Space is wonderfully inspiring but not quite so inspiring as some people can be. Fantastic job Jeff.
Mark, you nailed it with the first word in your comment “God” I believe our Creator~GOD is the most inspiring... AND Jeff Bezos, with “his GOD~given platform” has the chance to change the world, with GOD’s Help, if he so choses.

Every time I see these sort of images of an O'Neil ring, or Niven Ring, or any sort of massive structure like that, all I can think of is what happens to all that open space and exposed structres in the event of a hull breach. Easiest way is to just have houses, buildings, and such be their own pressure vessels for an emergency, with separated sections with relatively small openings between that can be closed, but you're still writing off massive areas and everyone exposed in them if there's any hole or impact bigger than a meter or so.

15:54 But, where do we get the sand from? Mountains? Where?
One of my favorite talks ever
15:35 I'm pretty sure Jeff hasn't put a calculator on hauling all that dirt into orbit. lol.
Your problem with that image is the dirt? The dirt comes from the Moon, which you can launch from there with a fart. What about the non existing materials required to keep that thing together and to withstand / self-repair damage? If something big enough pierces that habitat, your air is gone forever. You'd need back up air for the whole population. and if that fails, _everyone_ is dead.
I'm convinced the firsts habitats will be on the moon where we will have at first enough water and caves to store all the backup air we'll need. There we will learn how to survive atmospheric accidents, and _then_ we can go orbital.
Getting dirt is easy. You have to ship up food for a very long time. You compost the waste from the astronauts, and voila, you have dirt...
@@DamianReloaded from a huge space habitat, air doesn't leak as quickly as you probably imagine
At 23:20 he mentions it is vital to NOT haul all that dirt into orbit. There is plenty of stuff into orbit already, you just need to haul what you need to turn it into fertile soil, water, building materials, etc.
@@nikolatasev4948 The Moon is full of dirt and you can launch it to LEO for "free". No need to haul anything and the provision will be constant and as fast as you can load the mass driver.
Great presentation and poignant. Impressed and delighted. Bezos has been a quiet achiever with Blue Origin, so this informed me a lot. We’re behind you Blue Origin, let’s get this started.
We need to work on an Autonomous Self-Replicating Industry. It could be huge excavators, surveyors, loaders, haulers, crushers, seperators, smelters, mold casters, part casters, grinders, assemblers, 3D printers, molecular manufactutures, etc. Each self-driving equipment can be powered by 1MW thorium reactors. They wouldn't be able to self-replicate individually but if they work together they could build more of themselves to increase their industrial capacity. I was looking at construction equipment and a lot of the ones I listed are already available in mobile form. We might not have general AI yet but we could build expert software to control everything. I think it's great Elon and Jeff are shaking things up and inspiring and pushing to reduce cost but we need someone working on the other gate!
Fractal Federation no
I agree. Only when we're capable of complete autonomous production will we see major advances with space exploration.
I want to be a part of moving heavy industry to space
I admire this mans vision and great mind not to mention money has preserved him...he looks better now than he did back then.
The one thing I love about this guy is his command of facts and statistics. It would be nice if they were able to start launching New Glenn earlier than 2021 so they can move forward at a faster pace. 453 seconds of specific impulse is amazing on the 10K lb thrust new engine.
It's happening fast, however, imagine if Space X and Blue Origin combined their resources and expertise.

@@PiDsPagePrototypes I know B.o. are doing less commercially etc. SpqceX are still figuring out reusability though, and didn't originate the idea (as some people may guess). I just thought op wasn't entirely fair: Besos isn't copying the idea of reusability
What is protecting these cities from shooting stars? or asteroids? Have we figured out force fields yet?
Ultimately? Mass. Those walls on the oneill cylanders by necessity need to be thick. Another thing is unlike a planet they are more portable. If you can make an asteroid go off target by even a fraction of a degree your talking. Miles of buffer zones.
Amazon prime has really stepped things up these days...
I'm a little bit older than Jeff. And like him, I read and got excited about Dr Gerard O'Neill's ideas by reading his book, "The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space" back in '75 as a High School senior. And I recommend that all of you, do whatever you can to find a copy of that book, and READ IT!
Jeff is one of the only people on the planet who can help make this dream come true, and he seems to have the vision. But I have just a couple of small criticisms...
"HOW are we going to build these O'Neill Colonies? Nobody knows..."
Yes, we do. And it's one of the main topics of the book. As you said, the billions of tons of material needed for construction CAN'T be brought from the surface - the cost of rocket transport is too high. It will be done by asteroid mining and launching material from the Moon by way of a device called a Mass Driver. These technologies are as important to build and master as the Colony itself. TALK about them - let your audience know that it's possible.
And second... Jeff... Mr Bezos... You have the money, you have the vision, you have the power... But you need a spokesperson.
You need a Neil DeGrasse Tyson, a Brian Cox, even a James Burke - a person who knows how to weave a talk into a story that *inspires* - and with all due respect to your other strengths, Mr Bezos, that isn't one of yours.
You're not as weird as Elon, have the voice inflections of a Sagan, or can put people on the edges of their seats like the best motivational speakers. Find a Jobs to your Wozniak.
This is going to take everything you've got - and we WANT this to succeed as much as you do. Please give it the best possible chance!
I think he's a pretty good public speaker, better than Elon or Zuckerberg
What about midway relay stations for communications? Put antennas at certain points to relay and boost the transmission.
Excellent to hear such a positive out look and dream for space.
Blah blah blah idiot
"But guess what; the moon ALSO needs infrastructure" - man this guy never stops. Exciting stuff
You can't even imagine the amount of resources out there. If we can make access to space cheap enough with reusable rockets and spacecraft there are virtually unlimited resources in the solar system that could feed a trillion people for millions of years.

Hard to prove though so Bezos is good on that front. Now he just has to catch up with Elon on the rocket company front. Which might be very hard to do unless SpaceX fails.
I admire both Elon and Bezos. Elon is going really fast and i love that he is pushing the industry but still i prefer the vision of Bezos.

You could use momentum engines to get to space? I have a design, you place tubes around a spinning wheel with heavy rods inside the tubes that can slide in and out, then surround the wheel with magnets in the shape of a horse shoe, when the wheel spins the rods fly out but only on the open part causing a constant shift of weight in a forward direction.
great title! love the focus! Earth is where it is at!! We go to space to live a better life!! Very happy to see Blue Origin team focusing on the goal.
