An expensive stunt. I guess Bezos has to keep up the competition with Musk.

>> Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket has just taken an all-female crew of celebrity astronauts...

We are a broken people and we don’t realize it. Come Lord Jesus!

This stuff is NOT keeping up with musk. Blue Origins is a carnival ride. Space X does serious spaceflight.

“Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King SCREAM”

Expected, due to the characteristics of the crew.

Pretty thin stuff. Bezos sends ditzy morons into the edge of space for a few minutes while SpaceX sends skyscrapers into low earth orbit and then catches them to reuse.

I think some competition is good. Keeps everybody on their toes. Backups are good.

Think about what would happen if the Boeing had been only option.

It seems we’re on the cusp of a new industrial revolution of sorts. Like the Wright Brothers, people laughed at the folly of it all. Fast forward 40 years or so, and the jet setters made airline travel cool and desirable. I applaud the American ingenuity, and good for the rich celebrities throwing their money into the economy.

Is Blue Origin the next Edsel? Maybe, but competition is a great driver of entrepreneurship.

We’ll learn how implants respond in space. I hope they don’t burst.
