Exceedingly funny, Kurt - especially for someone who doesn’t have a vagina. Then again, you might have one, so I better shut up while I’m flaunting my ignorance (ignorance flaunting = a trick I picked up from Mr. Trump).
So I have an issue with the name Blue Origin. It sounds like an organization that cares about the Earth, which I don’t think is the case. Since I think the goal is to set up a new home for the select few on Mars, a more accurate name would be Billionaires Away, which I think we could all get behind.
Unfortunately it seems that this joy ride was just a publicity stunt for Bezos( he’s related to Beelzebub by the way). No redeeming social value, it could have been used as a way to help impoverished people….. I mean what the F*** does he do with all that money? It’s disgusting to contemplate. Dave you did make me laugh however, you’re keeping us afloat.
Clearly this is part of Trump’s plan to erase all the progress women have made in the past 100 years by making them look as entitled and tone deaf as wealthy males. He had to have Bezos do it instead of Musk because it would be bad optics for the women to be incinerated in a Starship explosion over Plano, Texas, and also Musk doesn’t have a girlfriend he acknowledges.
As riveted as I was to my TV for this wonderful event 🤷🏼♂️ I'm not sure if the story I heard about her singing "What A Wonderful World" while they were up there is true.
Obviously the whole thing was fake, filmed on a Hollywood sound stage, just like the moon landing, the D-Day landing, and "Sully" Sullenberger's Hudson River landing. "Knots Landing," on the other hand, was real!
Whew. Thank goodness (well, and Dave) for the picture! I was a little confused until that picture made the stunning complexity of this brave mission crystal clear. Relieved these warrior women are home safe. And for your stellar (see what I did there?) reporting, Dave. Breaking down the big issues. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, it's great to see the numerous takes on this "crew"! I think it explains Gayle King's reluctance to go! Especially with the Oprah weep and Katy's profound "love" dithering. Ranks right up there with Bill Maher's dumb dinner with donnie
My great- grandfather, grandfather and 2 great-uncles and a great aunt were Apollo engineers for entire program, great- grandfather led systems for airborne (capsule), grandfather worked under Werner Von Braun missile launch the others were mechanical and industrial. I was supposed to follow the family footsteps of 120 years of innovating aerospace and become- very specifically- an aerospace engineer (that's how seriously Apollo Engineers take women in my family.) Trying to imagine their reaction to "girls just wanna have fun, applying lipstick and taking selfies, maybe, kinda in outer space" vids. They were/are WASPs so it would probably be an intense moment of silence with a frozen expression that would make everyone so uncomfortable that you want to serve them (and yourself) a margarita.
Ok, I’ll say it. I am very suspect of rockets that look like giant penises.
They tried vaginally shaped rockets but....(fill in personalized humorous description of idiotic human response to seeing a flying vagina)

Exceedingly...(?) My comedy chops are marginal, but thanks. I'm working on new material.
Needs Velcro! Tang for everyone!
..they ended up in a black hole.
That’s very profound in a dickish sort of way
So they went on an 11 minute roller coaster ride? They shall be known henceforth as Bezo’s Bimbos!
Wouldn't that be Bezos' Bimbos?
Since "Bezos" is not plural (at least I hope so), it should be "Bezos's."
I stand corrected 😊
I'm Scottish & I'm offended by this grammatical conversation.
🤣🤣
I never thought I'd see the words "weightlessness" and "Oprah" in the same article...
Ouch. 🤣🤣🤣
And yet I’m laughing anyway.

Mars colonization is the brainchild of Elon Musk. Bezos simply wants all competing retailers to die.
Dave, question. Would I still qualify, having already been taken for a ride by Bezos?

It could have been used to help middle-class people.

"This suggests that the the Moon is up there even during daytime, at least over Texas."
I'm not too surprised. Texas is VERY large.
I, for one, am so grateful. If not for the Blue Origin launch, we would have been deprived of Katy Perry's profound wisdom.
Am I the only one hankering for a refreshing Margarita or two about now?
The first and last time Katy Perry will be seen and heard in West Texas.

Once again you've nailed it, bless you. Also, how many margaritas can you buy with the cost of a Blue Origin flight? Or even just the deposit?
Enough to close down the restaurant named Margaritaville.
But the cruises!!!

Is that what happened this morning? I thought I felt a little something something in the force. That explains it.
I didn’t know either. I stopped watching the news on election day.
No, that was just a fart.
The force farts? How very alliterative of it.

I had a cousin who worked at the Livermore Lab. We're too embarrassed to acknowledge her.
