Wish I had a job tightening the bolts on that craft
Boy this really kills the buzz of Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic (SPCE). Who cares about the #56th richest dude, when BO has the #1 guy?
If only we could read in the Wa Post afterwards.... “A brave, courageous man, the founder of Amazon gave his life to advance space exploration, but a technical glitch in the Microsoft software when Bezos tried to check in at Facebook caused the rocket to unexpectedly veer off course...”
Are you a union member?)

Elon Musk wannabe. I use to have respect for Bezos. He’s turned out to be a mega POS

I grant you a plenary indulgence.
It’s not your fault you were born that way.
