The founder of the Amazon said he was inspired by the 1969 moon landing to pursue scientific and technical studies and was planning to build permanent settlements.
"It's time to return to the moon. It's time to stay. We should not do an expedition. By doing this, we will find that it is a very useful place to build all kinds of things that we will use to explore the solar system, "he said.
"We really need to understand how to build space colonies, giant settlements. Imagine rivers and lakes and so on, "added Bezos. "We are going to do that with space resources, we are not going to take everything off the Earth. And it is there that we will house one trillion people.
Bezos warned that there was currently too much attention paid to visiting Mars and that the red planet did not provide a livable place for humans in the long run.
"We do not really want to go to Mars. If one of your friends is looking forward to moving to Mars, tell him to do a little experiment to verify that he is right. Go live at the top of Mount Everest for a year because it's a garden of paradise compared to Mars, "he joked.
