Jeff Bezos' rocket ship

[gregintenn]

Does it remind you of anything in particular?

[mikegideon]

A flying pecker. Boy, that fits.

[lock n' load]

I was thinking the same thing when I first read about it...lol. I think the name of the ship is named Blue Origin. I have my own twist to that name...the Blue Organ...

Seems like the engineering and fabrication for that shape would be more of a challenge than other basic shapes. I doubt it was done by accident. Do you reckon he paid extra for this feature?

Maybe they hired a "head engineer"?

[Ronald_55]

I mean he himself already has a big head... maybe he thought his rocket needed one...

I read that there is a petition to bar Bezos from re-entering the atmosphere and it has 60,000 or so names.  I wonder where I can add mine.

If you find it, let us know.

I thought that this was just a joke until I Googled it.

Yeah it’s real, supposedly started by a guy protesting the existence of billionaires.  How much money Bezos has doesn’t bother me, but I don’t like the guy because of the deplatforming BS and Amazon trying to put the whole world out of business.  I don’t give them a dime.

Yep. You can tell it’s a total vanity project. The resemblance is uncanny. Looks just like him.

Whenever I show stuff like this to my wife, the usual response is a question.   What are you 12?   But I show her anyway.   If the shoe fits...

Congrats to Jeff Bezos...I guess  He managed to churn labor arbitrage to fund a fun day while doing less than Yuri Gagarin and Alan Shepard did 60 years ago.  Richard Branson did even less a couple of days ago.

I'm not unimpressed by the engineering and manpower it took to make this happen because I know it's amazing, but I also don't see it as a visionary thing for billionaires to try and redo everything done six decades ago with flasher tech.  Wake me up when we can send ordinary folks on orbital flights for a day, or on cruises to the exosphere on a moon and back loop.

So the flying phallus took it’s maiden voyage.

Wonder if the vibration affected them in any way?

It was the world's most expensive drop ride.

Well, jokes aside ( and there are plenty to be had ), this is an enormous  achievement.

Soooo, who here is gonna pony up $250,000, to take a ride? Let me know how it went.

Yeah. I was kinda hoping that one of his testicles would explode due to lack of conditioning.

I plan on selling some ammo lumber and tp next panic-demic and snagging a seat
