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.
