Wow, it finally happened: a good opinion from Prince William

Hmmm. Much to think about. Photo: WPA Pool/Getty Images I hesitate to say this, given his recent handling of familial-racism allegations and his characterizations of his brother as a famemonger, but I think Prince William just expressed a good opinion? One I can get behind and actually happen to share? Hmmm. Much to think about.

The opinion in question: that all these billionaires currently racing one another to the edge of space would do better by everyone if they routed some of that money into saving Earth instead. “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, whose musings on the environment were recently published as part of a book, told the BBC.

While I am loath to class Jeff Bezos among the “world’s greatest minds” — please recall his proposal, immediately upon returning from his inaugural Blue Origin flight, that we move “all polluting industry” into space — I agree that all the money he’s dumping into galactic tourism would be better used to curb the climate crisis.

Anyway, say what you will about Prince William , but I have to agree with him about private spaceflights. Please respect my privacy during this confusing time.

Whoever wrote this is so werid… like they truly have not done their research and ignored all the amazing things he has done

Since when was there such a thing as a 'good' opinion? An opinion is just that, neither 'good' nor 'bad'. Based on whose almighty judgement can you deliver a definitive verdict of an opinion? Sums up the world we live in today

WOW! No one cares, ratio btw

Wow, it finally happened: this ratio

UK's Prince William says great minds should focus on saving Earth not space travelBritain's Prince William has taken a thinly veiled swipe at the billionaires embroiled in a space tourism race, saying the world's greatest brains should instead be focused on solving the environmental problems facing the Earth. The worlds greatest minds can walk and chew gum as the Americans say. Maybe the rich and royalty can use their wealth to solve poverty and food bank usage in their countries to help create even more great minds. Self made billionaires you are talking about, not heirs. That’s rich no ? ! This entitled little mama’s boy should work a real job for a month to acquire a taste of reality before telling our entrepreneurs what they should be focusing their attention on.

Prince William tells billionaires: Forget space race and focus on saving Earth“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,' Prince William says Not a fan of the royals in general, but, like his father on the environment, Wills is right about the billionaire vanity projects that offer zero-to-nothing for the people on Earth. I also think we need to look at building a space station with cities .. life in outer space incase we need to sustain life and keep going. If the earth climate is becoming more rapid and we need to save the planet the we also need to create a new world for us too.
