“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.
Shatner and three other crew members rode Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket to the edge of space Wednesday.The actor, who said the trip left him"filled with emotion," had previously brushed off concerns around billionaires like Bezos, Elon Musk and British mogulusing their riches to invest in space travel rather than investing in social causes."It's their money," he told NBC News in an interview back in July."They can do what they want with it.
Bezos, the world's richest man, described his own inaugural space flight as part of building a road to space “so that our kids and their kids can build a future.”But William urged a more grounded approach. It is"crucial to be focusing on this [planet] rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future,” he told the BBC.
William is following in the footsteps of his late grandfather Prince Philip and other royals with his focus on the environment.William has pursued an active environmental agenda as part of his royal duties, as have other members of the royal family.“It’s been a hard road for him. He’s had a really rough ride on that, and I think he’s been proven to being well ahead of the curve,” William told the BBC.
The duke said it would be an “absolute disaster” if his own son, Prince George, is “sat here talking” about saving the planet in 30 years’ time. William created the Earthshot Prize, which aims to find solutions to the planet's problems through new technologies or policies. The first five winners, who will each collect $1.4 million, will be announced at a ceremony on Sunday.
