Jeff Bezos on future of spaceflight:
"We can move all heavy industry and all polluting industry off of Earth"

After his successful flight to space, Jeff Bezos pushed back on criticism that launching rockets was a vanity project for billionaires, saying that the future of the planet — and those who inhabit it — depends on what can be accomplished in space. 
"I think people don't understand it, or most people don't," Bezos told "CBS This Morning" co-host Gayle King in an exclusive interview after he landed back on Earth Tuesday. "When you get into space and you can see the Earth's atmosphere, it's so thin and fragile looking. So we do have to take care of this planet. And right now it's just true that our civilization is — we pollute the planet."
He sees space as a potential solution.
"This sounds fantastical, what I'm about to tell you, but it will happen. We can move all heavy industry and all polluting industry off of Earth and operate it in space," he said. 
It will take decades to get there, Bezos acknowledged...
"What Blue Origin can do is build a space vehicle that is so operable and commercial and inexpensive that it becomes the infrastructure that the next generation can use to take those big steps," he said.

I gotta add here that other media like Russian Times News included another "prediction", that Earth would become a natural resort people might visit every so often.
 Something makes me think he watched the latest Captain Harlock CGI movie just too many times...
I know he's a businessman and all, but it's uncomfortable to see how much he craves for everything to look and work just like a Japanese 3D animated movie...
