The Tesla and SpaceX boss said on Thursday that Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos’s idea for how humans will eventually live in space “makes no sense.” Elon Musk was asked for his views on O’Neil structures, the cylindrical orbiting space colonies, that Jeff Bezos had talked about in recent weeks. Mr Musk replied: “Makes no sense.
“In order to grow the colony, you’d have to transport vast amounts of mass from planets, moons, asteroids.
“Would be like trying to build the USA in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!”
Mr Bezos’s idea to use self-sufficient, cylindrical structures that float in space, like those designed by Princeton physics professor Gerard O’Neil has been visualised in Science Fiction, such as Christopher Nolan’s film Interstellar.
