“We need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live,' Prince William says
“It’s so fragile,” Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk in the original series of “Star Trek,” said exclusively on NBC’s “TODAY.”
The actor previously brushed off concerns around billionaires like Bezos, Elon Musk and British mogulusing their riches to invest in commercial space travel rather than investing in social causes. Bezos, the world's richest man, described his own inaugural space flight as part of building a road to space “so that our kids and their kids can build a future.”But William urged a more grounded approach. It is "crucial to be focusing on this [planet] rather than giving up and heading out into space to try and think of solutions for the future,” he told the BBC.
The duke said it would be an “absolute disaster” if his own son, Prince George, is “sat here talking” about saving the planet in 30 years’ time.
