No, you did not read it wrong. Current Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has ambitious plans set to the limit. According to the American newspaper The Washington Post, Bezos' plan isn't just to land on Mars or the Moon. He wants to take humans all over the solar system. 2m3d54
What a time for space exploration! After 44 years of the last human landing on non-Earth land, we are close to conquering the entire solar system.

This audacity came after the success of four rocket returns from the Blue Origins company, which is commanded by Jeff Bezos. The latest rocket will be called New glenn and will take humans into it at the end of this decade.
There are still obstacles to this plan 5829
Not everything is flowers, there are still great barriers. Bezos commented that he has in his mind a future where millions of people will be living and working in space. What still appears as an obstacle is the ability to extract resources to keep everyone alive. Today the Earth is not in a position to do this and send it directly to those who are out there.
Another barrier is the advancement of nuclear energy, as solar s lose their performance as they move away from the sun. For the CEO of Amazon, planet Earth will be a residential and light industry zone. The heaviest industry will be in space.
Bezos, along with Elon Musk and his SpaceX, are truly revolutionizing the corporate space race. We have already seen several rockets returning to planet Earth and now the plans are more ambitious and dangerous. We'll probably meet up there in space, with some selfies with planets in the background. Huh? What a time to see Apollo 17 as a distant past.
