The jabbering idiots on the stream are irritating. Had to mute.

They sure waited a LONG time to send those chutes out.

Glad they made it safely.

To space and back in 10 minutes. Say what you want about Bezos, but that was cool.

That was amazing! Different approach that Branson’s or Musk’s craft but just as successful. Nice to have options!

Very cool.

Bezos should now offer a complimentary flight to all living astronauts who have walked on the moon.

The last seconds to rocket touchdown, looked like a Buck Rogers scene. Amazing.

>>So dumb....what does this prove or do for the future?<<

Space tourism, then a lunar base. For our grandchildren a Martian base.

This is like asking when the first autos were being driven. I mean they were so expensive few could afford them. Just a fad.

Between Branson, SpaceX and now this we already have a new space race in the private sector.

Not dumb at all. American ingenuity, motivation and free enterprise are the engines that drive our magnificent nation. The possibilities are limited only by lack of imagination.
