Jeff Bezos' rocket ship


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

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...

A flying pecker. Boy, that fits.

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"?

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.

Does it remind you of anything in particular?🤣

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.

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.
