Billionaire

The topic is billionaire, namely, If you had a billion dollars, what would you do.

How about browsers billionaires firstly? No, it isn’t interesting.

What can we do with those non-existent one billion dollars?

Hey, I am a man, the cosmetics, the luxuries, will not be on the top of the list.

The simplest thing is buying an island, for fun? I can’t find the reason.

Seriously, The spacecraft can be the first. There are space stations built by NASA(acronymized by National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and CNSA(acronymized by China National Space Administration). But I prefer crewed spacecraft because I could be a crew.

The second can be supporting research institute. How about research on immortality? It sounds like perpetual motion, does it? Namely, it’s medical research, that we can prolong the lifespan until eternity. When a  scientist states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong. And the cosmology research is what I want to sponsor if the money is enough. Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot live in a cradle forever.

But, one billion dollars isn’t enough, neither for research or spacecraft. The budget is certainly limited, right?

Here is some billionaire we mentioned:

• Rockefeller, an American oil industry business magnate, had 400 billion dollars. But Rockefeller has died, so let’s move on.
