Bezos, the world's richest man, aims to build a space city in Earth orbit.

In 2020, human probes began to fly to Mars. Although human beings have been eager to live outside the earth, it is still unrealistic to move to Mars at the current scientific level. Anyone who has seen the film "Blissful Space" should have a very deep impression on the space city in the film. But we ordinary people may just think about it. If Bezos, the richest man in the world, thinks so, it is really possible.

Bezos is the founder of Amazon.com. In 20 19, his personal wealth reached 13 10 billion dollars, making him the richest man in the world. Bezos once said in a speech that he is considering building a space city with gravity in space, completely simulating the earth's environment and floating in the earth's orbit like the International Space Station.

Now that the richest man in the world has spoken, do we have the technology to build such a city now?

According to Bezos' idea. This space city will be a cylinder about 10 km long and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. This cylinder will generate centrifugal force through rapid rotation, simulating the gravity environment of the earth. In such a space world, people can experience everything on the earth and experience the wonders of space. There is no threat of natural disasters here, and I believe everyone will be willing to live here.

Bezos seems to disapprove of exploring extraterrestrial planets and building settlements on them. Because the environment of extraterrestrial planets is very bad, it is very difficult for human beings to want a large-scale foundation. It is not as good as human beings to build a space city directly in outer space. This idea has been endorsed by many people. In such a space city, people do not need to deal with the harsh environment of extraterrestrial planets. Humans can build cities flying in space according to their own wishes, including high-rise buildings and developed entertainment places. The temperature here can also be adjusted by itself. This is much better than building a house on another planet.

However, with the current level of human science and technology, it is still unrealistic to build a space city with tens of thousands of people living. After all, the current human space station can only accommodate a few astronauts to work and live, and it is still under vacuum conditions. If mankind wants to build such a city, the first thing to be solved is the space transportation of thousands of tons of materials and the artificial intelligence robot responsible for building the city.

Do you want to move to another planet, or do you want to live in such a space city?
