JAKARTA – Recently, Prince William criticized the billionaires who are busy going into space. The Duke of Cambridge considered that their money and time should be used to improve the condition of the planet Earth inhabited by humans.
Based on a CNN report, Prince William highlighted the behavior of the world's billionaires who are competing to travel to space. The criticism was conveyed in a podcast with the BBC.
"We need the brightest brains and minds to improve the planet, not find new places to go and live," he said.
Previously, Prince William had stated that he had absolutely no interest in traveling to space. The heir to the second throne of the British Empire is indeed known as an environmentalist. He also questioned the carbon footprint of rockets being flown into space.
William just wants to make sure that future generations are no longer worried about the condition of the Earth. He also thought it would be a big problem if his son, Prince George, had to discuss how to save the Earth in the next 30 years.
