I'd say Bezos has a lot of work to do on the "taking better care of his employees" front.
And regarding space travel at this point it's just an intellectual fetish based on reading/watching SF (and I'm a big fan of SF...). Except for the "single point of failure" thing, which hasn't truly been an issue for the last 65 million years, we should be fine on Earth for the next decades, at least.
We seem to have avoided catastrophe as a species a few times cutting it real close.
And those haven't been really big incidents either.
Anyway, Musk's strategy in making space travel cheaper is a right one. Throwing more money at it directly is likely to result in inefficient solutions. It requires time and work add much as some money.
Setting up a Bezos space university would be a good start. And figuring out education without (much) bureaucracy and sinecures.
Space travel (especially long range) is interesting in that tackling it rewrites solving a whole lot of ancillary problems. Social, political, educational, biological, agricultural, physical etc.
