Is it just me or does his rocket looks like a giant penis? The only problem with this flight is that Bezos will come back to Earth.


 
It does, indeed. Looks like the top of Bezos' head, actually. I'll give it up to him, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk for doing this kind of cool ****.

Looks like the pre-flight condom has been removed! You know, for a safer flying experience!
 
I'm torn between two thoughts on this. On one hand, I'm enthused about mankind's progress to reach out to the stars. On the other hand, I'm sickened by this self-indulgent clown with pockets of $$$ buying into a venture that cost the lives of brave astronauts paving the way. Me, I would've had the names of ALL astronauts who perished, US and Soviet, inscribed on the spaceship... from Soyuz to Gemini to the present... and all their names would be the first words spoken as a tribute to their brave sacrifice.

For a flight that lasts a couple of minutes or so, you are in a critical phase of flight throughout. Not really time to go through the names of those perished, as you suggest. A noble idea, but not exactly a practical thing to do...especially in an inaugural flight.
 
I believe it was named the Phalis (sp?) or something like that. A big prick taking a space ride on another big prick...cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:
 
Space Returns Unwanted Amazon Delivery

article-9091-1.jpg



WEST TEXAS—Outer space has returned an unwanted Amazon package that was sent to it unsolicited yesterday. According to witnesses, the package floated gently back down to earth after being rejected. Locals have asked Amazon to please "pick this thing up and bring it back to the warehouse" as no one really wants it around or knows what to do with it. If you know who ordered a giant metal gumdrop with 4 dudes in it, please call Amazon immediately.

I usually love anything about the space program
this isn't one of them

too bad they didn't have an ejector seat & porthole
a couple of them could have been left

Branson followed thru with his deal,
I'll give him that much

3 rich fucks have their own space programs, Bezos, Branson
& Musk
Spece-X has done something for the good of man,
not just line his own pockets, albeit he gets that too...

Why didn't gabazillionaire Bezos wait for his **** to finally work ?

space tourism ?
a bunch of filthy rich fucks paying $250k for a ride
do we really need that ?

I'm all for free enterprise & all,
spend your earnings however, you want & all
(a couple modern-day slavemasters onboard)
even if I think it's a total waste of resources
(what is the actual environmental impacts ? liberal thoughts & all)
I like the free thought, ability to do what you want & all
(of course within reason)
but it's not a huge demand, at all...

another elitist/well or best-connected types deal
fucken' hypocrisy mostly, flaunting their wealth
not just here on Earth, but now out in orbit too

it's good that 82 y/o aviation lady,
got a ride into space 'finally"

but aside from that, meh !!!

Alot of money to spend for a couple minutes. And they young kid got his dad to buy a ticket. Not that I care. But its the elite that will travel. And slave drive the common folks to get them more. Not really fan of this.
 
Sadly non of these ******** are actually reaching orbit. The news makes it sound like its a breakthrough. Let them orbit and then re enter the atmosphere and well talk.

yep if I got it right
just the 1st Earths atmosphere
2nd layer Earths stratosphere, where they were
not actually the 3rd 'space' or Earths orbit
 
I would rather have a ride at top speed in an SR-71.
 
If you feel its okay for someone to spend their own money as they see fit don't criticize them when they do it.
 
Not impressive at all. They sat in an automated rocket and sounded like a bunch of kids at a keg party. If you have money I guess you can do just about anything.
 
I wouldn’t care but these ******** are in debt to the tax payer and nobody says a word... let’s go for a joy ride..
The real astronauts are hero’s of a special sort .. Not in the same club as men and women in uniform but right there with them imo. Amazon is a picture window to the world wide mall of China. I think they beat Wall Mart at the game now.
