The capsule has massive windows to give passengers a view of the earth below during about three minutes in zero gravity, before returning to Earth.

For an 8 minute flight? Go in a Musk dragon capsule for some orbits.

Blue?! BLM will be at their doorstep before takeoff. They could settle this just by calling the pad the George Floyd Launching Pad.

I hope Bezos is ready to die, because he might. But I doubt that he is.

An awful expensive fireball to die in.

But on the plus side, they’ll be taking Bezos with them…

What could go wrong with this whole situation. Bezos definitely has the guts but anything could happen if the rocket explodes. I guess he definitely has a death wish.

Well, at the very least it’s not very nice........... :-} But, I did hear he’s stepping down as ceo so some other liberal miscreant will be taking his place. Doesn’t mean he won’t still cause mounds of trouble though.

28 million is just ever so slightly out of my price range.

How much to strap me outside the rocket ship with a plain old car seatbelt?
