William Shatner, who became the oldest man to reach space, responded to Prince William’s criticism of the billionaire space race.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos is responsible for Shatner’s trip. He is the founder of Blue Origin, which made the rocket that propelled Shatner into space.

Prince William said billionaires would be better served to focus on Earth’s issues, primarily climate change.

“We need some of the greatest brains and minds in the world determined to try to fix this planet, not to try to find the next place to go to live,” he said.

Shatner said Prince William had a “bad idea”. He argues that the current trend of space travel will lead to better things for Earth.

“I would say to the prince, and I hope the prince gets the message, this is a small step in the idea of ​​bringing the industry up there, so that all these polluting industries, in particular, for example , industries that make electricity… off Earth, ”Shatner said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Shatner added that Bezos, with all his money, can be a driving force to help protect Earth.
