JEFF BEZOS' "BEST DAY EVER " WAS A MERE TEN MINUTES TO EDGE OF SPACE.
ICHEOKU says it was the best day ever of his life, but to millions of starving peoples around the world, including women and children, as well as thousands of people who work for Amazon at barely a minimum wage, it was just an egotistic junket of wasted funds which would have been better applied to where it would have brought much added value benefit to human beings. But it is his money and he chose to spend it how he saw fit, in a ten minutes blast off to the edge of space at 66 miles high altitude.
The Jeff Bezos' rocket off was not quite popular among many of Amazon workers, some of who wished that he never came back but for the rocket to take him all the way to Jupiter or even Mars and for him to stay there forever. Some of them too would have preferred that Jeff Bezos reflected his gratitude for their labor, which paid for his vainglorious trip, through wage increases as mere "thank you" do not their bills pay.
Jeff Bezos gave $100 million each to Van Jones and Jose` Andres for their "courage and civility" but not even a dime in pay raise to the workers who are producing the wealth for him; probably because working for Amazon does not demonstrate "courage and civility". Yet when some of the workers in Alabama demonstrated some "courage and civility" by trying to unionize, the same Jeff Bezos fought it to a stand still. There is something somewhat sketchy about the doling out of this millions of dollars, but definitely a good payday for both lucky fellas.
ICHEOKU says compared to Richard Bronson's Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin was rather cramped and does not have enough clearance for the weightlessness somersault maneuver. The Virgin Galactic plane-like model is of a better design than the circular Blue Origin which sequestrated every person in the same tight space. Anyway, the opportunity which Jeff Bezos provided the awesome 82 year old astronaut Wally Funk to finally make her dream of going to space come true was indeed very commendable. It was good that the team safely launched and safely made it back to earth. Congratulations to all of them, including those who made it possible.
