Amazon founder Bezos: heavy industry should move to space-Bezos, Amazon-IT information

Code on the Conference to the General Assembly on Tuesday, Amazon founder Bezos said all heavy industry on the earth should be moved away from the Earth, Earth's only human settlements and industrial areas.

Code on the Conference to the General Assembly to be held on Tuesday, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says he is not concerned about colonizing Mars, is interested in development of the space industry, the SpaceX company CEO ailong·masike and next day will focus on immigrants to Mars are very different.

Bezos said he could "guarantee you"--the perfect planet in Earth's solar system, which is Bezos and Mossberg (Walt Mossberg) talking to one of his fervent declarations. Colleagues, Bezos discussed his view of the space industry, he believes that space industry lack of vigor, also said he and his space-entrepreneur Thomas g considered as a "like-minded".

As a famous aerospace private "blue origin", the founder of Bezos says that he indeed has a lot of similarities with the musk, but he does not focus on colonizing Mars like musk. He prefers supporting facilities in space, space industry, and eventually all of Earth's heavy industries are moving away from the Earth, and in this way to protect the Earth.

Bezos founded Blue origin in 2000, to bring tourists into orbit for space travel, and have sent spacecraft into suborbital "new Shepard rocket." Which 100-kilometer high across the Kármán line (the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space), and then a soft landing back to Earth.

Bezos and the new Shepard rocket

Last November, the new Shepard rocket completed its first launch and recovery. To date, blue origin has completed three of the same new Shepard rocket launching and recovery, confirms rockets multiplexing technology is feasible. By 2018, the rocket will be carrying paying tourists to space travel. In addition to space tourism, blue origin is developing a powerful thrust rocket engine BE-4, engine using liquid oxygen and methane. In addition, blue origin plan can really get into the business of space rockets.

Blue origin's ambition, Mossberg asked Bezos's views on the global space industry, Bezos believes space industry in recent decades like is dozing off. "If you look at the space industry, you will find that it has been quite slow, progress is very small, the industry has stagnated for nearly half a century. Globally, 40 launches each year it's a good result, and number of years is also very uneven, sometimes fall. "Bezos responded.

"You don't choose your passion, but your passions choose you. Starting from I am a five year old boy on the space rocket with passion. "Bezos said:" after a space launch in the 1970 's busiest, and what happened? ”

Bezos explained that the slower growth was due to the lack of space industry facilities. He noted that Amazon has been able to succeed, because, like remote payment systems and shipping, transportation and other services are in place. So Similarly, Bezos plans built space industrial facilities in space, space industry to grow and prosper. Bezos says, "I put it into space as their own work. Facilities built in space space is tough, I resources I use heavy facilities in space, so that the next generation can vibrant, explosive space venture. ”

Bezos, this goal is altruistic, but he appears to have overlooked in today's aerospace industry has a complete industrial chain. Like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and mega Dyne, the aerospace company has decades of design and manufacture of space equipment experience. Bezos said the "lack of activity" more refers to a comparison of the space industry and the Internet industry, but the Amazon development facilities and enable rapid development of space industry facilities are very different, such as research and development of remote payment system far developed cryogenic rocket engine complex. And if the current amount of global space industry simple years comes down, things would look less vibrant.

Of course, space industrial facilities can be more robust, and Bezos wants to lower the launch costs, use of multiplexing technology to revive the aerospace industry, this is absolutely needed in aerospace technology, blue origin has also been efforts toward this goal. Past is disposable and expensive, reusable rocket technology for the global commercial launch market after a new pattern space does not need to waste each time a new rocket, and reuse costs too much cheaper than building a new.

This new Shepard rocket after the completion of a soft landing for the first time last year, has missed two this year.

However before the can significantly reduce the cost of access to space, blue origin has a way to go out. Its new Shepard rocket into suborbital, meaning rocket carrying passengers or goods cannot enter the real space, not complete flight around the Earth. Want to build space facilities in space, blue origin needs also have to be able to really get into the business of space rocket, and the rocket like the Falcon, 9th to recycling and reuse. SpaceX Falcon rocket has launched more than 20 times, delivery of numerous cargo into space, and complete the four recycling. To achieve these goals, Bezos to complete his goal of building space facilities.

Bezos certainly doesn't shy away from blue origin and SpaceX, he thinks of himself and Thomas g are "like-minded". When it comes to Mars, he believes that mankind will eventually access and settlement of Mars, and people should do, but he insisted that the heavy industry moved out of inhabited planets.

"We have sent more than one robot to explore, learn about our solar system. I can assure you, the planet Earth is the best. "Bezos said," but the Earth's energy is limited, and all heavy industry will eventually move away from the Earth, the Earth will be planning for human settlements and industrial areas. ”

Bezos believes heavy industry should move to outer space, such as large chip factories and the use of solar panels, it can be transformed into 7/24 of solar energy as the energy of the space industry, so that Earth can free more space for human habitation, and reducing the planet's energy needs, feed more people.

"Only out of the Earth in order to better protect the Earth. You don't want to live in a world where quality of life back. You don't want to live in one, we have to freeze the population growth, reducing energy use on the planet. "Bezos said:" we are all enjoying the current civilization, its energy and huge population, as the driving force, which is why the city center is always so full of life. We hope that the people on this planet can continue to grow, we hope to be able to use more energy. ”

亚马逊创始人贝索斯：重工业都该搬到太空去 - 贝索斯,亚马逊 - IT资讯

在周二的Code Conference大会上，亚马逊创始人贝索斯表示应该将地球上的重工业全部搬离地球，地球仅保留人类居住区和轻工业区。

在周二举行的Code Conference大会上，亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯表示自己不只关注殖民火星，更对发展太空工业很感兴趣，这与第二天SpaceX公司CEO埃隆·马斯克在会上专注移民火星计划很不一样。

贝索斯称他可以“向你保证”--地球是太阳系里最完美的行星，这是贝索斯在与莫博士（Walt Mossberg）交谈中他的一个热切声明。同事，贝索斯阐述了自己对太空工业的看法，他认为目前太空工业缺乏活力，同时也表示自己与同为太空企业家的马斯克算“志同道合”。

作为著名航天私企“蓝色起源”的创始人，贝索斯表示他与马斯克确实有很多相似之处，但他并不像马斯克那样只关注殖民火星。他更希望在太空建立空间工业的相应配套设施，最终把地球上所有的重工业都搬离地球，以这种方式来保护地球。

贝索斯于2000年创办蓝色起源，旨在将游客送入地球轨道进行太空旅游，并已拥有能将飞船送入亚轨道的“新谢泼德火箭”。这种火箭能飞越100千米高的卡门线（地球大气层与太空的边界），再软着陆返回地面。

贝索斯与新谢泼德火箭

去年11月，新谢泼德火箭完成首次发射与回收。截至目前，蓝色起源已完成同一枚新谢泼德火箭的三次发射与回收，证实火箭复用技术完全可行。到2018年，这种火箭将搭载付费游客前往太空旅行。除了太空旅游业外，蓝色起源也在开发一款推力强大的火箭发动机BE-4，该发动机使用液氧与甲烷。另外，蓝色起源也计划研发可以真正进入太空的商业火箭。

对于蓝色起源的雄心壮志，莫博士询问贝索斯对当前全球太空产业的看法，贝索斯认为近几十年太空产业像是在打盹。“如果你关注太空工业，你会发现它发展非常缓慢，进步很小，这个行业已停滞了近半个世纪。就全球来看，每年有40次发射就算是不错的成绩，而且年发射次数也很不平均，有时还会下降。”贝索斯回应。

“不是你选择你的激情，而是你的激情选择了你。从我是一个五岁男孩开始就对太空与火箭激情澎湃。”贝佐斯说到：“在1970年代最繁忙的一阵太空发射后，又发生了什么？”

贝索斯解释说，太空产业缓慢增长的原因是因为缺乏配套设施。他指出，亚马逊之所以能够成功，是因为像远程支付系统和航运运输等服务都已准备到位。因此与之类似，贝索斯计划在太空建造空间产业配套设施，让太空工业能够成长壮大。贝索斯说：“我把将它送入太空视为自己的工作。在太空建造空间设施很艰难，我会我用的资源将重型设施送上太空，这样下一代人能够充满活力，爆炸式的去太空创业。”

对贝索斯来说，这个目标非常利他主义，但他似乎忽视了今天的太空工业已有相应的完整产业链。类似波音、洛克希德马丁和洛克达因等这样的航天公司已经有几十年的设计、制造空间设备的经验。贝索斯所说的“缺乏活力”更多指向的是太空产业与互联网行业的比较，但是使亚马逊蓬勃发展的配套设施与能使太空工业迅猛发展的相应设施有很大不同，比如研发远程支付系统远没有研制低温火箭发动机复杂。而且如果将当前全球太空工业的状况简单用年发射数量来归结，事情就会看起来不那么有活力了。

当然，太空工业的相应设施是可以做到更强劲的，而且贝索斯希望通过降低发射成本，利用复用技术来重振太空工业，这绝对是航天领域需要的技术，蓝色起源也一直在往这个目标努力。以往火箭都是一次性且造价高昂，火箭复用技术出现后给全球商业发射市场带来全新格局，前往太空不需要每次浪费一枚新火箭，而且复用成本要比造一枚新的便宜太多。

这枚新谢泼德火箭在去年完成首次软着陆后，今年已复飞了两次。

然而在能够大幅降低进入太空的成本前，蓝色起源还有一条路要走完。它的新谢泼德火箭只够进入亚轨道，意味着火箭搭载的乘客或货物无法进入真正的太空，不能完整地绕地球飞行。想要实现在太空建造空间设施，蓝色起源还需拥有能够真正进入太空的商业火箭，并且这种火箭需要像猎鹰9号那样可以回收再复用。SpaceX的猎鹰火箭已发射二十多次，运送了无数货物进入太空，并完成四次回收。实现这些目标，贝索斯才能完成他的建造太空配套设施的目标。

贝索斯当然没有回避蓝色起源与SpaceX的比较，他认为自己与马斯克其实是“志同道合”的。在谈到火星时，他认为人类终将访问并定居火星，而且人类应该这么做，但是他力主将重工业搬离人类定居的星球。

“我们已经派出多个机器人去探测、了解我们的太阳系。我可以向你保证，地球就是最好的星球。”贝索斯说到：“但地球的能源是有限的，所有重工业最终都将搬离地球，地球将会规划为人类的居住区与轻工业区。”

贝索斯认为重工业都该搬到太空，比如大型芯片制造厂；并利用太阳能电池板，它可以转化7/24的太阳能作为太空工业的能源，这样地球可以空出更多空间让人类居住，并减少地球上的能源需求，养活更多人。

“只有走出地球才能更好的保护地球。你不想生活在一个生活质量倒退的世界里。你也不想生活在一个我们必须冻结人口增长，减少能源利用的星球上。”贝索斯说：“我们都在享受当前非凡的文明，它以能源和庞大人口作为动力，这就是为什么城市中心总是如此充满活力。我们希望这颗星球上的人口能够继续保持增长，我们也希望能够使用更多的能源。”
