Billionaire private astronaut jokes on Twitter about reviving dinosaurs in what would be a real-life Jurassic Park project
We’ve all seen the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, and we’ve all probably wondered how soon we’d be actually able to bring back a dinosaur to life using genetic material and high-tech science. It wouldn’t be the best idea to revive the most deadly predators we can imagine, but would we be able to do it at all? People with the resources to fund the research needed to create real-life Jurassic Park attractions might try to find out.
He might be kidding, but billionaire Jared Isaacman suggested recently that we should use dinosaur DNA to “really make things interesting.”
Isaacman reacted on Twitter to a recent breakthrough scientific discovery. A team of European scientists brought a “zombie virus” to life from the Siberian permafrost. The virus had been dormant for tens of thousands of years.
“Let’s go for the dinosaurs next and really make things interesting,” the billionaire tweeted, adding a dinosaur emoji in what’s clearly a reference to a real-life Jurassic Park experience.
