Billionaire founder agrees with Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Jeff Bezos: We will live and work in space—and could be commuting to the moon by 2030

Some of the world’s most powerful tech billionaires think your next job posting could come from another planet.

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman have all predicted a future where humans live and work in space.

Now, Voyager Technologies founder and CEO Dylan Taylor is backing them up—and he’s putting a very soon timeline on it.

According to Taylor, you could be commuting to the moon within a decade.

“Humans will definitely be living and working in space,” the billionaire space exec exclusively told Fortune .

“The next step would be the moon.

That’ll happen in the 2030s—probably early 2030s,” Taylor added.

“We’ll have a moon base, people living and working on the moon.

You’ll be able to look up at the moon and see lights on the moon.” Technically, Taylor points out that a tiny portion of humanity is already working in space at the International Space Station, which has had “humans continuously up there for 26 years.” But the CEO added that the industry is “working actively” on scaling that up from a handful of trained astronauts to the general population.

As for what jobs will eventually exist up there? Taylor points to resource mining, orbital data centers, and power grid construction—work he doesn’t think humanoid robots can fully replace.

“You’re not going to be able to program Optimus to do everything on the moon,” he added.

“You’re going to have to have humans to figure it out.” Unlike the moon, Mars is humanity’s backup plan—not its new home Taylor isn’t just speculating from the sidelines.

Despite making millions before even 30 and running public companies across electronics, finance, banking, and real estate, he started again at 37 to chase his childhood dream: working in space.

In 2007, Taylor became an angel investor in Space Adventures.
