At its re: Mars conference, Amazon\u2019s<\/a> CEO Jeff Bezos<\/a> took the stage today to be \u201cinterviewed\u201d by Jenny Freshwater<\/a>, Amazon\u2019s director of forecasting. As any AWS machine learning tool could have forecasted, having an employee interview her boss didn\u2019t lead to any challenging questions or especially illuminating answers, but Bezos did get a chance to talk about a variety of topics, ranging from business advice to his plans for Blue Origin.<\/p>\n

We can safely ignore the business advice, given that Amazon\u2019s principle of \u201cdisagree and commit\u201d is about as well known as it could be, but his comments about Blue Origin,<\/a> his plans for moon exploration and its relationship to startups were quite interesting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
He noted that we now know so much more about the moon than ever before, including that it does provide a number of resources that make it a good base for further space exploration. \u201cThe reason we need to go to space is to save the Earth,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are going to grow this civilization \u2014 and I\u2019m talking about something that our grandchildren will work on \u2014 and their grandchildren. This isn\u2019t something that this generation is able to accomplish. But we need to move heavy industry off Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
