According to Taylor, you could be commuting to the moon within a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHumans will definitely be living and working in space,\u201d the billionaire space exec exclusively told Fortune<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe next step would be the moon. That\u2019ll happen in the 2030s\u2014probably early 2030s,\u201d Taylor added. \u201cWe\u2019ll have a moon base, people living and working on the moon. You\u2019ll be able to look up at the moon and see lights on the moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technically, Taylor points out that a tiny portion of humanity is already working in space at the International Space Station, which has had \u201chumans continuously up there for 26 years.\u201d But the CEO added that the industry is \u201cworking actively\u201d on scaling that up from a handful of trained astronauts to the general population.<\/p>\n

As for what jobs will eventually exist up there? Taylor points to resource mining, orbital data centers, and power grid construction\u2014work he doesn\u2019t think humanoid robots can fully replace. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to be able to program Optimus to do everything on the moon,\u201d he added. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have to have humans to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unlike the moon, Mars is humanity\u2019s backup plan\u2014not its new home<\/h2>\n

Taylor isn\u2019t just speculating from the sidelines. Despite making millions before even 30 and running public companies across electronics, finance, banking, and real estate, he started again at 37 to chase his childhood dream: working in space.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 2007, Taylor became an angel investor in Space Adventures. He was also an early investor in Relativity Space, along with Mark Cuban. In 2017, he founded his first space venture, Space For Humanity, a nonprofit that plans to purchase seats on commercial spaceflight for people who wouldn\u2019t typically have access. And then two years later founded Voyager\u2014and that bet paid off last year, when the company went public on the NYSE, hitting a $3.8 billion valuation, and turning Taylor into a billionaire at 53.\u00a0Fortune<\/em> reviewed a summary of his financial records, which verifies his billionaire status.<\/p>\n

Voyager is now building the replacement for the International Space Station and holds multiple NASA contracts. Taylor himself has even flown to space on a 2021 Blue Origin flight\u2014and became the 606th human to go to space.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Mars, he said, is a different story entirely: \u201cJust because it\u2019s so much further away. Radiation is so much more of a bigger problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For the majority of us regular folk, Taylor doesn\u2019t see Mars becoming our new home\u2014unless a major catastrophe hits Earth. \u201cI agree with Elon (Musk) that we want to have some diversification, in case something really bad happens here\u2014an asteroid or something like that,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe moon really isn\u2019t sufficient diversification. The moon and the Earth are really the same planetary system.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Who actually goes, he says, will mostly come down to who wants to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people don\u2019t want to live on Mars,\u201d he said, adding that he\u2019s not one of them. \u201cI\u2019d rather do the adventure. We\u2019re all on a one-way trip, whether we know it or not. It\u2019s just where you want to end up.\u201d<\/p>\n

And he believes enough people think like him that you could eventually end up with a town or city on the Red Planet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have the adventurer gene, which I think I have,\u201d Taylor added. \u201cThere\u2019s enough people that would do that that you could start a small colony\u2014but this whole notion that we can create an entire civilization, terraform ours, it\u2019s going to take a long time to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman have made similar predictions about space and work<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s not just Taylor who\u2019s predicted that you could be applying for jobs and a mortgage from another planet in the future.<\/p>\n

Musk, Tesla CEO and the richest person on the planet, has single-handedly been one of the most influential leaders in pushing for 21st-century space accessibility. After all, he\u2019s the cofounder and CEO of $1.8 trillion SpaceX, which has worked hand in hand with NASA to advance space exploration. He thinks humans will be on Mars as soon as 2028\u2014but it\u2019s worth noting his past predictions haven\u2019t always hit the mark. In 2016, Musk said he wanted to send humans to Mars by 2024, but it didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n

Bezos, meanwhile, has predicted that by 2045, \u201cmillions of people\u201d will be living in space\u2014and robots will commute on our behalf to the moon.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see how anybody can be discouraged who is alive right now,\u201d the Amazon and Blue Origin founder said on stage at Italian Tech Week 2025. \u201cIf you need to do some work on the surface of the moon or anywhere else, we will be able to send robots to do that work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

And in less than 10 years\u2019 time, OpenAI\u2019s CEO Altman says college graduates will be working \u201csome completely new, exciting, super well-paid\u201d job in space. The ChatGPT creator even said that he\u2019s jealous of young people because his generation\u2019s early-career jobs will look \u201cboring\u201d and \u201cold\u201d by comparison.<\/p>\n
