than some nations do.

比一些國家。

And I am not exaggerating.

我也沒有誇大其詞。

If you are lucky, you might make a million dollar over your lifetime, but the founder

如果你運氣好，可能一輩子就能賺到100萬美金，但是，創始人

of Amazon, Jeff Bezos in 2018 alone made over 27 billion dollars.

的亞馬遜，傑夫-貝佐斯在2018年就賺了270多億美元。

In fact, his net worth peaked at 167 billion dollars in September of that year.

事實上，他的淨資產在當年9月達到了1670億美元的頂峰。

But he isn't the only one who made such an incredible fortune in such a short period

但他並不是唯一一個在這麼短的時間內賺到這麼多錢的人。

of time, many other billionaires have boosted their wealth as well.

的時間，許多其他億萬富翁也提升了他們的財富。

Of course, it's great to make so much money, but when you are at that level of wealth,

當然，能賺到這麼多錢固然好，但當你的財富達到這種程度。

it's pretty easy to lose it as well, since it gets quite difficult to manage.

這是很容易失去它，以及，因為它變得相當困難管理。

Take an example of the founder of Zara who lost over 16.2 billion dollars just last year.

以Zara的創始人為例，他去年就虧損了162億多美元。

Or Mark Zuckerburg who's net worth was down by almost 19 billion dollars.

或者馬克-扎克伯格的淨資產減少了近190億美元。

But the richest man in modern history was John Rockefeller who's net worth was estimated

但現代史上最富有的人是約翰-洛克菲勒，他的淨資產估計是

to be around 400 billion dollars.

為4000億元左右。

He took advantage of the resource that was newly discovered then and built his wealth

他利用當時新發現的資源，建立了自己的財富。

around it, by monopolizing the entire industry.

圍繞它，通過壟斷整個行業。

Of course, you can't do that today because the industry is too competitive and the world

當然，今天你做不到，因為這個行業競爭太激烈了，而且這個世界

is trying to get greener.

正在努力變得更加綠色。

So the worlds first trillionaire will have to conquer an entirely new industry as John

是以，世界上第一個萬億富翁將不得不征服一個全新的行業，因為約翰

Rockefeller did.

洛克菲勒做到了。

And its probably going to be space.

而其可能會是空間。

That sounds pretty vague because a lot of people still don't understand how are you

這聽起來很模糊，因為很多人還不明白你是怎麼做到的

going to profit from space except getting satellites to space and delivering cargo to

除了將衛星送入太空和將貨物送入太空之外，還將從太空中獲利。

ISS as SpaceX does today.

國際空間站，就像今天SpaceX所做的那樣。

Of course, there is the potential of space tourism as well, but only the super rich will

當然，太空旅遊也是有潛力的，但只有超級富豪會

be able to afford that.

能夠負擔得起。

So you might make a lot of money out of it, but it will definitely won't make you a trillionaire.

所以你可能會從中賺到很多錢，但絕對不會讓你成為萬億富翁。

But the space industry is far bigger than that.

但航天產業的規模遠不止於此。

It's filled with an infinite amount of resources that are finite here on earth.

這裡充滿了無限的資源，而地球上的資源是有限的。

And whoever will start mining asteroids first, will probably end up becoming the first trillionaire.

而誰先開始開採小行星，誰就可能最終成為第一個萬億富翁。

Asteroids contain all kind of raw materials that are extremely precious here on earth

小行星上的各種原材料在地球上都是非常珍貴的。

such as Gold, silver, platinum and so on.

如黃金、白銀、鉑金等。

In 1997 a small asteroid was discovered with a diameter of just 1.5 kilometers and it contained

1997年，人們發現了一顆直徑只有1.5公里的小行星，它包含了

20 trillion US Dollars worth of precious metals.

價值20萬億美元的貴金屬。

And space is literally filled with them, a small asteroid with a diameter of less than

而太空中真的充滿了它們，一顆顆直徑不到的小行星。

a kilometer can contain two or three times more iron and nickel than the entire world

一公里的含鐵量和含鎳量是全世界的兩三倍。

production.

生產。

Of course mining iron and delivering it back to earth isn't going to be profitable, at

當然，開採鐵礦並將其運回地球是不可能盈利的，在。

least in the forecastable future, but platinum that's quite rare and expensive on earth

至少在可預測的未來，但在地球上相當罕見和昂貴的鉑金

is used in many technologies that we use on daily basis and would be extremely profitable.

在我們日常使用的很多技術中都有使用，會有極大的收益。

You can mine 25-50 billion dollar worth of platinum just from a 30 meters long asteroid.

僅僅從一顆30米長的小行星上就能開採出價值250-500億美元的鉑金。

Of course, the excessive supply of these metals will definitely drive the price down, but

當然，這些金屬的過量供應肯定會推動價格下跌，但...。

one or two companies will get there first, and they will probably be careful with the

有一兩家公司會先到那裡，他們可能會小心翼翼地與。

amount of raw materials they will supply the earth.

他們將為地球提供多少原材料。

On top of that, as the world gets technological advanced, the demand for these precious metals

除此之外，隨著世界科技的發達，對這些貴金屬的需求也在增加

will only grow, especially if we start sending more satellites and building colonies on the

尤其是當我們開始發送更多的衛星並在太空中建立殖民地的時候

moon and mars.

月亮和火星。

There isn't yet a single company that can mine asteroids but there are plenty of them

目前還沒有一家公司可以開採小行星，但有很多公司可以開採。

working on that.

工作上。

The biggest challenge is transportation.

最大的挑戰是交通。

Rockets aren't cheap because they are not reusable.

火箭不便宜，因為它們不能重複使用。

However, some people are about to change that.

然而，有些人即將改變這種狀況。

What SpaceX has achieved already is really impressive, but their rockets aren't 100

SpaceX已經取得的成就確實令人印象深刻，但他們的火箭並不是100個

percent reusable and some parts need to be completely replaced before it takes off again.

百分之百可以重複使用，有些部件需要完全更換後才能再次起飛。

But they are not the only company with impressive results.

但他們並不是唯一一家取得驕人業績的公司。

Although that Blue Origin's rocket is far behind SpaceX's, judging by their history,

雖然從他們的歷史來看，那個藍色起源的火箭遠遠落後於SpaceX。

it seems like they going to catch up soon.

看來他們很快就會追上來。

and both of these companies are privately owned by Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

而這兩家公司都是傑夫-貝佐斯和埃隆-馬斯克的私人所有。

By perfecting the reusability of rockets, not only they will be the only companies that

通過完善火箭的可重複使用性，不僅他們將成為唯一的公司。

will have the ability to mine asteroids but also create a brand new industry and monopolize

將有能力開採小行星，但也創造了一個全新的行業，並壟斷了。

it.

它。

And since Amazon is growing tremendously and isn't showing any sign of slowing down,

而且由於亞馬遜的增長巨大，並沒有任何放緩的跡象。

Jeff Bezos will have all the resources to be one of the first people to take advantage

傑夫-貝佐斯將擁有所有資源，成為第一批利用的人之一。

of the space.

的空間。

And as Amazon is conquering one industry after another here on earth and building monopolies,

而隨著亞馬遜在地球上征服一個又一個行業，建立壟斷。

there is no reason they wouldn't do it in space.

他們沒有理由不在太空中這樣做。

So Bezos is in a much better position to cross that trillion dollar threshold first.

所以，貝佐斯更有條件先跨過這個萬億美元的門檻。
