[Hela]

Link to tweet

"You know that was a space flight designed by a man because it was loud, disappointingly brief, and he thinks everybody else is as satisfied as he is."

1. Hahahahahaha! I had to read it again before I got it.

As opposed to if a woman designed a space flight.

[dalton99a]

2. But it was extremely strong and powerful

[2naSalit]

3. And then he...

Handed out some cash when it was over.

[ornotna]

4. Was that before or after

His nap.

[2naSalit]

5. I wasn't watching...

So I missed that part.

[yonder]

7. was the cash before or after the cigarette?

[panader0]

6. And the space ship looked like a big dick.

Branson lasts longer.

[Treefrog]

8. Now, THAT made me laugh out loud!

9. Bezos takes flight, Meanwhile, Pete Sagal hocks his running book on twitter.

Host of

. Author of "The Incomplete Book of Running," from Simon and Schuster, now available at independent bookstores or via link below.

As goes Sagal's opiniin of Bezos' Space Flight, so goes Pete Sagal's Running Book
.."because it was loud, disappointingly brief, and he thinks everybody else is as satisfied as he is."

Womp..Mr Sagal
😄

You're a nobody with a twitter page trying to sell your book.

When future flyers take to space & safely return, because of what was learned from Bezos's flight today, you running book will be in the $3 bin at the used book store.

Who are you again Mr Sagal??


Never heard of the guy ~

[Beaverhausen]

10. He's host on NPR for one thing

13. Ooooohhh. Another media personality with a book to sell!! That's original!

Meanwhile Chef Jose Andres receives 100 mill from Bezos for his gift of feeding ppl in the worst emergency scenarios.

The Spanish-born chef celebrity Jose Garces, whose not-for-profit relief agency World Central Kitchen, has provided tens of millions of millions of meals following natural disasters and other upheavals, is one of two people named today (7/20) to receive $100 million prizes from Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos as the inaugural recipients of what's being called the Courage and Civility Award.


So Mr Sagal, you just keep seeking a publicity spot to hock that book, there are better humanitarians being recognized for their unrelenting good works, far outside a neatly configured TV/Radio Studio.

Piss off With your sneering at the benefit of what Bezos chooses to do with his life.
Its his life.

Maybe go have a comfy convo with Trump's buddy Ro.

Sneerers gotta sneer .

[Beaverhausen]

14. My god you are so upset

You can go right ahead the think Bezos is a great man but the rest of us might have other opinions.

And you should catch "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me' on NPR. It's great!

[Budi]

20. No more upset than the hacks who have spent the day mocking the Spaceflight

They're not upset so much as they are sickly hateful.

They have missed the whole forest for the trees

But haters gotta hate, cuz someone on social media said so.

[ZonkerHarris]

21. Bezos is very mockable. So are those in his thrall.

[Skittles]

30. you got THAT right

[ZonkerHarris]

24. Bezos chose to sleep with another man's wife and cheat on his own. I sneer at that. Very much.

[Budi]

27. Ok sure. That's it.

Admit it.

Its the rocket ship.

[mopinko]

12. he's basically a comic.

had a quiz show on npr that is a hoot.

[Budi]

16. A comic with a quiz show on npr, selling a book, is dissing Jeff Bezos & his beneficiaries.

The Jeff Bezos who in 1994 literally founded e-commerce giant AMAZON in his freaking garage in Seattle, & has given millions to Climate concerns Globally, & humanitarian & educational causes & just boarded his own successful space flight today, THEN handed over data for future educational endeavors, AND gifted 100 mill to the 1st 2 recipients of his Courage & Civility Awards, one being Chef Jose Andres who has unrelentingly gone to the worst disaster areas to see that people are at least fed & cared for.

THAT JEFF BEZOS?

Maybe his Bezos tweet willl elevate Mr Sagal's profile & he'll sell a few books.
🙄

[ZonkerHarris]

23. Ain't America great. We are allowed to mock the rich and powerful. What a country.

Bezos sucks. I like his ex-wife better.

[Budi]

26. I like Chef Jose Andres too. Thanks for the recognition Mr Bezos

[Joinfortmill]

11. 👍

[oldsoftie]

15. I never use Amazon. But good for Bezos & his team.

And he had a very LARGE team working on this. And you can bet they are all very well paid too. And this type of flight will make scientific flights easier & cheaper.

Personally I dont use Amazon because i try my best to buy local. From businesses that pay local taxes.

[Budi]

17. K & R Thank You!

"And he had a very LARGE team working on this. And you can bet they are all very well paid too. And this type of flight will make scientific flights easier & cheaper."

Yes, he's already offered to share the learned info from today's flight with educators & future scientists anxious to further their own endeavors.
This should be a STEM learning course.

Thanks Mr Bezos.

18. Love Sagal. He's the best part of "Wait Wait..." on Saturdays.

[Cousin Dupree]

19. And shaped liked a penis. It probably made his feel very large.

[Budi]

25. Aaahh! So THAT's where the sneering jealousy for Bezos is coming from.

Size matters. Should have known 🙄
Cripe.


So Sorry 😕

[fijord]

22. Wait..how long has it been since NASA has been to space under it own power??

Really feeling the love for science here.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. What do you mean?

The answer depends on the meaning of your question, since NASA and other government organizations, like the Department of Defense, have contracted work with several companies for years. In one sense, we could argue that the Stealth aircraft used by our military were never created by our government. It was just financed by taxpayers to various corporations.

If that's not what you mean, then NASA recently launched the Perseverance mission to Mars with their own government-contracted rocket. The Atlas V-541, via the United Launch Alliance.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Launch_Alliance

Our government also funds research at several universities, and the taxpayer-funded discoveries are often given away to large corporations when they become marketable. So corporations are beneficiaries of such welfare programs too.
R&D can be very costly, so many corporations try to limit spending of their own money on it! Bell Labs did a lot of significant research years ago, back when Ma Bell pretty much had a monopoly.

28. Ouch!

29. How about that stupid-looking cowboy hat Bezos was wearing during the press conference?

For a minute there I thought it was Kenny Chesney in a space suit.
