For most, Jeff Bezos is best known for being the founder of the successful e-commerce company Amazon.

In under three decades, the billionaire successfully transformed the once “famously unprofitable” business to one of a handful in the world to be valued at over $2 trillion.

During that time, however, Bezos has also shown an interest in the world beyond business.

Bezos has joined a number of other tech entrepreneurs to enter what has been dubbed as the billionaire space race.

Bezos previously said his aims were to “build a road to space so our kids and their kids can build the future.”

“We need to do that to solve the problems here on Earth,” he added.

Blue Origin, the aerospace technology company founded by Bezos, says it was founded “with a vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth.”

However, there are plenty of critics of Bezos’ endeavour, with some describing the billionaire space race as a ‘waste of money’ that would be better spent on the climate crisis.
