In recent years, we have been able to follow a true new space race whose protagonists are some of the richest men in the world, yet not all billionaires are convinced and interested, huh? The creator of Microsoft is one of them. In a recent interview, Bill Gates says he prefers to invest in vaccines.

The statement was given in a recent interview by bill Gates to the BBC. He was asked about a possible interest in being another character in the space race that involves some other billionaires. Clearly, this was a provocation towards Elon Musk, creator of Tesla and CEO of Twitter, as well as Jeff Bezos, creator of Twitter.
And unlike the two rich men, Gates argues that there is a far more important agenda on our own planet. In response to the BBC's questioning, he stated that it is "too expensive to go to Mars". On the other hand, saving human lives on our own planet would be a more efficient way to spend your money… and still save.
“You can buy measles vaccines and save a lot of lives for $1,000 each.” This value, when converted into reais, would be around R$ 5 thousand, but it is still much cheaper than that the astronomical amounts paid by other billionaires in rockets and other investments for a trip to Mars.
In recent years, some of the world's biggest billionaires have assumed they are in the midst of a new space race. Among the objectives of this new competition is going to the moon, which would be the second time for humanity, as well as going to Mars for the first time, in order to colonize it.
In this project, the names of billionaires Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
Recently, the creator and CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, himself made a short trip to space in order to record his pioneering spirit. Another billionaire who has left the planet is British tycoon Richard Branson. Everyone's big goal remains to reach the moon and also the red planet.
