Billionaire founder agrees with Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Jeff Bezos: We will live and work in space—and could be commuting to the moon by 2030
“We'll have a moon base, people living and working on the moon,” says billionaire Voyager Technologies founder Dylan Taylor.
Tech titans Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman envision a future where humans reside and labor in space. Voyager Technologies executive and founder Dylan Taylor affirms their stance, hinting that you could be commuting to the moon within a decade. Taylor asserts that "Humans will definitely be living and working in space. The next step would be the moon.
That’ll happen in the 2030s—probably early 2030s." He clarifies that while a small segment of humanity is currently engaged in space endeavors at the International Space Station, the industry is striving to scale this up from a handful of astronauts to the masses. Taylor highlights potential space-based jobs such as resource mining, orbital data centers, and power grid construction, which he believes are not easily automated.
Unlike the moon, he sees Mars as humanity's backup plan, but he doubts it will become a permanent residence for the majority of us unless a catastrophic event befalls Earth.
