00:00:00.229 --> 00:00:02.646
(soft music)

2
00:00:04.980 --> 00:00:08.970
- The government, not better,
but doing, in addition

3
00:00:08.970 --> 00:00:11.823
to what the government in
launching their huge rockets.

4
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:16.590
Bezos and Tesla are
launching smaller rockets

5
00:00:16.590 --> 00:00:18.150
and doing really good work.

6
00:00:18.150 --> 00:00:21.660
Jeff Bezos, turns out, I got
to know him a little bit,

7
00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:26.179
interviewed him and then
spoke some lengths with him,

8
00:00:26.179 --> 00:00:30.510
'cause he came to the
concert at the Kennedy Center

9
00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:35.510
and it moved him to tears,
he and his lovely friend.

10
00:00:35.816 --> 00:00:40.816
And his concept is a
really valid one, I think.

11
00:00:41.549 --> 00:00:45.240
And whether he has the
opportunity to do it,

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.530
and the funds to do it,

13
00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:51.530
but his concept is to
put industry into space.

14
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:55.500
The polluting industries
can be put into space.

15
00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.140
We have the technology
right now to keep building,

16
00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.730
and put the people up there

17
00:00:59.730 --> 00:01:02.850
and fly them back down
every two weeks or whatever.

18
00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:06.848
And you put all the energy companies,

19
00:01:06.848 --> 00:01:11.848
and the burning of fossil
fuel, and everything up there,

20
00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:17.330
and let it dissipate
in space and begin to,

21
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.650
literally and figuratively,
cultivate the earth.

22
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:23.766
So I admire that.

23
00:01:23.766 --> 00:01:28.140
I think that's a really
doable, practical thing

24
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:30.120
that these very, very rich men,

25
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.650
who are equally concerned
about the future.

26
00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:38.850
I mean, the book that we're
talking about, Boldly Go,

27
00:01:38.850 --> 00:01:43.850
is dedicated to Clive,
who's two years old,

28
00:01:43.965 --> 00:01:48.797
Clive and the Clives who will be born.

29
00:01:48.797 --> 00:01:51.460
The world we're going to leave them

30
00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:57.423
is going to be a lot of
Florida, unless we're careful.
