CitizenVectron Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Jeff Bezos is going to space on first crewed flight of rocket WWW.CTVNEWS.CA Jeff Bezos will be flying to space on the first crewed flight of the New Shepard, the rocket ship made by his space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled for July 20th, just 15 days after he is set to resign as CEO of Amazon. Well, a massive dick inside another massive dick, launching into space. As someone else online said, "Wishing a safe flight to the crew, and the crew only." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finaljedi Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Blue Origin is frustrating. It’s owned by a man who has an online empire and more money than anyone else and all they can manage in over a decade is a little rocket that can get to the edge of the atmosphere. Then they whine when they weren’t considered for a lunar lander contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I want him to go for the turkey on this one, meaning I want him to fail to achieve an erection before boarding a rocket as a dick and both failing to launch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like they want to be included among the real launch companies like ULA and SpaceX but they haven't ever even shown something worth putting in the same discussion.

mclumber1 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 After SpaceX landed their first Falcon 9 in late 2015, Bezos tweeted at Musk "Welcome to the club". Earlier that year, Blue Origin successfully launched and landed their New Shepard vehicle for the first time. Ironically, SpaceX has launched and successfully landed their boosters almost 90 times since that date, and Blue Origin has landed their booster just 14 times.

Kal-El814 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Bezos wanting to treat the earth like a park for humans who live in space is honestly everything we need to know to hope that he never returns from orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious. These flights go into space, but not into orbit. It's basically a 15 minute ride up and down. If rich people want to waste their money on this stuff, that's fine. Both BO and Virgin Galactic employ hundreds of engineers and technicians who get paid pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
