The Silicon Valley technocrats are at it again. This time, they’re trying to colonize space, by sending robot space probes to “seed” habitable worlds. 

Now the billionaires want to create a private corporate-funded colony on Mars or other planets in our solar system. 

They aim for 1 billion people living on Earth by 2100, with the first trillionaire at their head leading them all.

Here at anonymax.net/ has some more information about tech billionaires who want to colonize space.

The entrepreneurs make their plans public to inspire all of us that there is no limit to what man can accomplish once his mind is focused and he gets others behind him. 

They intend to do this by establishing a for-profit corporation. 

The details of the project are still being worked out, but it will be modeled on the European voyages of discovery from the 15th century and America’s westward expansion in the 19th century.
