The future of space is NOT "exploration" for the sake of exploration.

The future of space is going to involve a lot of robots, a lot of mining other planets for resources, and a lot of space stations made from those resources.

Bezos is planning for a future where all polluting industry is moved to outer space instead of being done here on Earth. He has publicly stated this on multiple occasions recently.

Highly doubtful …

He can say whatever he likes. I still don't trust that he cares about anything beyond amassing personal control of more money/resources.
