Apparently he thanked all the staff of Amazon who had helped him realise his dream. Yeah, thanks wage slaves.

I was extremely saddened to hear the news about Jeff Bezos

I suspect it’s just due to the camera’s distance from the rocket at the launch pad, but I have watched plenty of launches of various types of rockets over the years, and the initial launch acceleration of Bezos’s space penis seemed noticeably faster than anything else I’ve seen.
Out of curiosity, is there any data comparing the performance of the modern manned rockets by NASA, SpaceX, and this one?

So phallic in looks and symbolism.What a waste of resources.
How many trees will he need to plant to off set those emissions , which may well be planted to make millions of cardboard boxes and packaging.

Aviation pioneer Wally Funk, the oldest person to fly in space, can't wait to go back after Blue Origin launch
She was one of the Mercury 13 female pilots in the 1960s, but launched at age 82.

Whereas the experience of what Bezo’s rocket has just done, or what Virgin Galactic’s ship will eventually do would undoubtedly be exhilarating, if I could afford that kind of gig I would probably still wait 5-10 more years for a better experience.
Sadly I don’t think Moon tourism (regardless of price) will be a reality for two or three decades, so unless I’m a really fit octogenarian and OAPs are welcome, I doubt I will experience it even if I could afford it.
But I still believe within 10-15 years there might be better tourist experiences available than these 8-10 minute just-about-edge-of-space gigs.As it is now, I reckon you’d have far more microgravity fun on one of those vomit comet planes for about 20% of the cost, even if not quite the same view.
An hour or so at 150 km altitude I would happily sell a kidney for. I’d like to think the likes of SpaceX are not far from building such a craft.

I didn't know where to post this really, so I'm not sure this is the right place for it. But I found this article rather interesting and thought provoking:

So Captain Kirk is going to be one of the next to boldly go ride the big spunking dick and get squirted up into space for a few mins.

I hope it's fitted with good shields / defences as Kirk always seems to get into a fight wherever he boldly goes.So Captain Kirk is going to be one of the next to boldly go ride the big spunking dick and get squirted up into space for a few mins.

He needs a welcome party of alien monsters when he lands. Maybe komodo dragons with hats on? Or twenty Michael Gove lookalikes? Somebody pls organise.
