The Duke of Cambridge spoke about the current rush for space travel in an interview with the BBC's Newscast podcast, which aired on Thursday.He said:"We need some of the world's greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live."William, a former air ambulance helicopter pilot, stated that he had"absolutely no interest" in going as high as space.
Bezos isn't the only wealthy entrepreneur to make the leap into space travel recently. In July, Richard Branson rode into space in a supersonic plane developed by his company, Virgin Galactic.Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also been making forays into the space business — he founded SpaceX and, in September, the company's Inspiration4 flight carried four tourists on a three-day orbital mission.
Yes how about those millionaires donate to feed the hungry with that much money?
I couldn’t agree more, but they’re busy working on being trillionaires.
Grandma will not let him go on the rocket?
Anything to help distract us from uncle Andy. Plus he’s Gran lobbied secretly to have exemption from climate control legislation. Couple with the fact we’re over populated and spreading to the stars is the only option.
Money makes the world go around, world go around, world go around. Money makes the tra la la...
It,s odd when someone who has contributed nothing but eat, sleep and shit at tax payers expenses feels that he can tell others what to do? Why don't you tell the world that freeloaders like royals should give up their title and contribute. Get a job
Go figure after his family destroyed the planet for centuries
Well i was born in a royal family, i must have a say and my word should be respected, he is in britain, jeff worked his ass off and he is not a citizen of britain.
Kills me that people are actually complaining about this. Who is so pressed about SAVING OUR PLANET that they're upset over what he said? I can't with you fools...
Saving earth and maybe helping people... but sure let's go to space?
How much is he worth? 40 million$? I'll bet he tithes 10% every year....
Ok and we want him and his family to stop hurting children in unspeakable ways
EcoHypocrite strikes again😒
Well the money just doesn't go away. Someone is getting paid, employees, down to the janitors. Better than them putting it in a bank account where it does nothing.
What happened to William following royal protocal of no comments? He's preaching to commoners who have earned their money by working & building global businesses! William must be preparing for his trip to Glasgow for the U.N. Climate Change Conference!
Att ruins TedTurnerIII cnn for
Yes. There isn’t any where better than Earth. Earth is not a disposable planet.
what about jet setting around the world for whatever reason? Doesn't count?
Very short sighted!
A nice one. The rich created the mess in the first place. Space tourism is a silly Ideas anyway.
Prince William is right!
Absolutely agree with him, US should ask these rich fellas to contribute 25% of their net worth to reduce US debt rather than blowing themselves upwards for 10 mins of vacuum frenzy. Where is AOC !
100% fuck yes Willy! they can start by spending billions on cleaning up the Pacific ocean garbage patch!
Despite his background. I am agree to make living in Earth better.
Will, Will, baby, there's enough money to fix your concerns too, remember how Musk gave the electric car a good kick in the arse?
They are. Perhaps after exposure to space; A person finds the enlightenment needed, to save earth.
FU©✓ THE ROYALS!!!
I agree with Prince William!
He isn’t wrong tho. Soave tourism is so stupid and wasteful
Hey “prince”, eliminated all your worthless royal positions. That would save a ton of money. Donate that.
Yup
I wholeheartedly agree with William...
100% CORRECT, I’m tired of these self indulgent rich kids playing with their space rockets while children starve and the earth burns KensingtonRoyal
👏👏👏
This dude is so desperate to be relevant that, he's always putting his foot in his mouth.🤨
Protecting the biome and exploring space are not mutually exclusive. We need a shared goal that isn’t based on envy. Exploration and innovation make humans unique in the history of life. We’ve got 400 million years until the sun boils our oceans, let’s make the most of it!
Pandastamper Boris Johnson would give his right arm to have the space capabilities of the US and now not being part of ESA .. hmm..
'nuf said.
Príncipe de cU é ROLA. Vai trabalhar vagabundo.
Agree !!!!
thank you the first thing shatner said when he got out was bezos he need to fix that exhaust badly!! can you imagine how much toxins go into our small atmosphere per flight?
Ok.... and he has lots of money he has earned himself rrrrrr..... taken from all his country men. He should get hair implants.
Finally, real substance and real leadership. Good on him.
Both frontiers are worthy. Balance is key.
Space Travel For The Elite will become what Studio 54 was in the 1970s, but with ugly matching outfits🙂. I had no idea William Shatner is 🇨🇦.
And poor Willy needs to realize that because of the 98+% of the world who aren't billionaires... The earth is WAY too far gone. We're just in denial, now.
Yes these million airs and Billion airs need to concentrate on climate and ridding the world of COVID. A ten minute trip to space is nothing compared to what’s going on on this earth. Soon they won’t have an earth to return to.
I agree 100% with Prince William. What is the point of space tourism other than vanity.
He’s wrong! We need a home because we destroyed this one. We have no choice but to move to a new fishbowl.
I totally agree with him! It’s like they are forgetting about the real problems and having a competition of who can get to space first.
The Кingdom is in danger.
Totally agree with him.
This is stupid. To call out “space tourism”? You realize they are also refining their systems every flight, what does it matter if someone catches a ride in the meantime. Also, if you want to draw a target around climate change, start with China and India.
I got news for you. No one cares what Prince William thinks.
Someone 'just can't wait to be king'.
Is he giving ip his castle?
Rich people and their boredom
Maybe he should take care of his womenizer uncle of him....
Actually...he should be more concerned with his family members screwing children...
He didn’t ‘slam’ anything. Be made a measured and thoughtful observation.
Say what you want about prince william and what he was born into, atleast him and his father have an actual sense of what is happening to the atoms around us, instead of willingly making them more unstable purely for the benefit of profit.
IDGAS what he thinks. He doesn’t work, they earned their money and can do whatever the hell they want to do with it.
How much has the Prince stumped up to fight climate change then?
“Funnelling space travel money into solving world hunger” 😂😂 Bezos using Trump vocabulary “great” “amazing” things...
Can they not do both? Space travel is important for the future of our species.
Meh.. it's not like your clan is making any huge strides in saving humanity either...🙄
I agree!!
Told you William is a keeper. 👍
Who?
Someone with common sense 👏🏼
'Look guys, I'm not going to be king of the moon. This doesn't do anything for me'.
Look at all the Brits jerking off their future monarch. Good little subjects.
Agree
Darling no one asked now sit down and try that crown on your bald head
Not gonna lie, the space travel has been cool to watch and no one said it's gotta stop altogether. Prince William's message - don't lose focus on feasible environmental efforts even though there's other new exciting stuff happening. Sounds reasonable.
They are both doing very well when it comes to the environment. Ones sole bussiness is electric vehicles and the other just pledged a billion. Innovation cost money.
I wonder how the prince is going to his next holiday resort, with the train or Bicycle. or again with private Jet.
Or you can mind your own god-damned business
PrinceWilliam might be better to keep his trap shut considering he is complaining about people who are actually contributing to society. His shortsighted comments don't take into account technological advancements that may come from these flights.
Slams?
Thank you Prince William PrinceWilliam
William… you worry about you and your spoiled, pampered life and let others worry about themselves and what they deicide to do with their money.
Hi. Remember when I was a teen heartthrob?
A guy that gets paid millions for breathing is lecturing people who made their own fortunes.
Millennial Royals getting political. Both Princes seem intent on using the power of their platforms for progressive change, not just charity work. Can we please just skip Charles and go straight to Wills?
Maybe the RoyalFamily could not take money from the taxpayer for a few years? Put that money into conservation projects 🤔
SabirahLohn well said prince william..he is 100% is right
Translation: I’m mad my wife doesn’t let me do anything cool.
I don’t disagree entirely, we have many problems here that need attention, flying off into space, isn’t going to fix them.
Did he say how much his family spend in those castles?
