The flight lasted only 11 minutes and reached 60 miles but it was a smooth liftoff and successful landing for both the capsule and booster rocket.

Did they successfully jettison Bezos into space?
What a monumental waste of money.

he has some income at his disposal.
that money went into the economy rather than sitting in his account. I am ok with that.

Could they have made this look any more like a dildo?

gonna need @Lance Uppercut to provide feedback on that since he's our resident super rocket scientist
All they have to do now is refuel the rocket, move the capsule to the launch site, attach a new pack of chutes, and take off with next four ticket holders. Yeah!

How people react to this guy intrigues me. The right hates him. the left loves him....
he pays mostly shit. and very little taxes. but he worked his ass off to build this billion if not trillion dollar empire.

I could post it a third time but I think your obtusity would win again.
I applaud Bezos for what he accomplished, his financial worth and his freedom to do with it as he wishes.
Putting one cent into outer space is a monumental waste of one cent. The people who will die of starvation today all agree with me.
