"Focus on Environment Instead”- Prince William Calls Out Billionaires Competing on Space Tourism Race

Prince William has thrown a barely subtle shade at the billionaires involved in the space tourism competition, suggesting that the world's brightest minds should instead be focused on fixing the planet's environmental issues.

William said the in the forthcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference COP26 meeting in Scotland he need to attend, echoing his father's warning earlier this week.

"We can't have any more clever talk, no more clever words, no more brilliant action," William remarked.

Earthshot Prize

The prince's answer to the situation was establishing the Earthshot Prize, which strives to find solutions to the world's most pressing environmental issues through new technology or policies.

The first five winners will be revealed at a ceremony on Sunday, with each receiving 1 million pounds ($1.4 million).
