Yeah, it looks like a schlong.

What's the over/under on Bezos not making it back, and if he doesn't, who gets all of his stuff?

Blue origin is making progress. Still a ways to go before they have orbital capabilities. I guess until then it’ll be good for joyrides and short term 0G experiments.

Well for one, I think it's cool and glad to see some energy, excitement and innovation in our manned space program.

There are certainly worse things billionaires can spend their money on.

Like treating their employees well?

Also can we get a thread title change to "Shepherd space craft to launch giant penis into space"?

That's socialism!!

He's slowly getting there, next step is the "launch tubes"

Just a thought do we want the orbital area around the earth to turn into Mount Everest and you get crap like this?

So what do flat earthers think about this?

It can no longer be a government conspiracy that the earth is round. We now have 2 private companies who also can confirm it is round.

How are they handling all of this?

I mean seeing things come over the horizon in a boat for themselves hasn't changed their minds, I can't imagine a billionaire on a private spacecraft will!

Watching it fly into space reminds me of Ace and Gary's car.

How does this prove its round? The just went straight up and back down.

Because they can see the curve of the earth from that height and I'm sure pics will be coming out from up there.

That's just perspective, of course.

Pfft! It's an optical illusion, clearly.

Okay so now I know how they will take the news.

Thanks lol.

What you never heard of a wide angle lens before? It's all just camera tricks. Were you there to see it yourself?

No no, I wasn't there, and it's all just a big conspiracy!

Launch went off without a hitch.

I don't have a problem with Bezos spending his money to get into space but he made that money without paying income tax and treating his workers poorly

Press: “You excited to be going all the way to outer space?”

Bezos: “I’m not going all the way in…just to the tip” [of space]
