It’s none of my business how these people choose to spend their time in space, but you can buy time on a plane to experience weightlessness for a lot less than $28 million or whatever.

LOOK OUT THE DAMN WINDOW.

He's just having fun and not trying to prove anything. That's pretty much the epitome of cool.

Seems like Bezos and Zuck are trying way too hard. They have no sense of subtlety and it just falls flat.

To me, who comes from a hunting, fishing, rodeo barrel racing, and bull riding family: anyone from the Biz sector who didn't grow up wearing western wear looks pretty silly. That being said, I applaud Bezos for landing both a used booster rocket and a used capsule flawlessly. Every little step gets us closer to understanding each other and the universes.

And frankly, I’d rather him spend his money on something like blue origin, that’s not inherently evil, rather than do what the Koch Bros and Rupert Murdoch, for example, have done with their money, which has been to advance the cause of pure evil.

As for real reviews on Amazon, some products that have an overall five-star rating also have many negative reviews. Go figure!
