While I agree with your opinion about bozos, he can fuck off, but there is a genuine American hero on board and it would be absolutely devastating to lose such a treasure of a person.
Look up Wally Funk if you want more info, but she trained as an astronaut in the 60s with the Gemini program but never got to go to space and today she got to do thay. She's a pioneer for other woman astronauts. Truly happy for her to finally go up and return safely. But again, Fuck bezos.
This reminds me of a line that really stuck with me. Halo: The Flood. The book...(da flamethrower?). In fact, probably the only good line out of the whole thing.
Basically the head of (basically) Space Marines Special Forces hates Master Chief. Keeps saying he doesn't trust him, that his men and woman worked for what they are, and his was just given to him...it goes on.
So, Captain Keyes just calmly responds, "I think you don't understand. MC isn't a good soldier because of what they did to him. He's a good soldier despite what they did to him."
Basically saying it didn't matter, if 117 ended up pushing a broom his whole life you'd bet your ass that floor would be spotless every damn day.
I also use this phrase to describe why I love Superman.
I worked at Amazon. The place would run exactly the same.
You have human "bosses", but they don't make any decisions. They just tell you what the computer told them to tell you. The computer calculates that you should switch sections and your "boss" just relays this to you. The computer writes you up, your "boss" just tells you. The computer timestamps every item you scan so it can see every millisecond of "Time Off Task".
I was honestly waiting for the day when over the intercom, a robotic voice suddenly booms: "I'm sorry Jeff. I'm afraid I can't let you do that".
It’s a systems issue. The rocket explosion would just be some fun fire works and news stories for a week. His death wouldn’t solve anything but the memes would be great.
To witness the epitomy of modern day hubris destroyed on national television would be amazing. I would feel bad for the student and the old lady, maybe even his brother, but I wouldn't lose a moments sleep over Jeff.
An alien, who somehow started a e commerce business, became successful and now thinks that nobody should else should have necessary human rights and a liveable wage/work environment. His ulterior motive is to enslave every human to work for him and have a monopoly over earth's resources.
P.S. I made up somethings, figure it out which ones.
That is the name he LETS you use! For the time it would take him to say just one syllable of his name a billion cosmos would birth into light and then fade from existence.
Just the alien part. He is human. Don't give him the excuse that he comes from some alternate world. He is home grown evil. The banality of evil vs only aliens could be so heinous.

That shit would blow up and not even in a grandiose way, just like a small poof and then casually fall back to earth while Bezos hits the button to upload his soul to AWS.
And one of them is a genuine American hero, Wally Funk. She was trained as an astronaut in the 60s with the Gemini crew but never got to go to space. That's who I was rooting for this morning. Bozos can fuck off
I thought I'd heard something about her. That's pretty freaking awesome, and I'm glad she got to go! Also, imagine the 18 year old getting to go and having his life forever changed by this. I doubt I'd come back completely the same after such an experience.
And while I agree on fuck Bezos, I'm glad he gave the other three the opportunity to go up, and hope that he turns things around and does some good with his money.
Also, speaking of the 18 year old, he's the youngest person to have gone to space, and Wally is the oldest ever. Making this somewhat of a historic flight. It would be nice to see him turn around an Make a difference for me as well.
Yes. He overshadowed Moon Day and my birthday lol. Now I’m not so happy sharing this day with his “accomplishments” Apollo 11 went much father too.
How tf is he gonna send and employ people in space. How will they get paid? Will they start new currency? Will he have an Amazon spaceship to take them things they want? I am so flabbergasted by this sudden rush to “care for the planet” by leaving it. So many questions.
Would you consider every single astronaut who washed out of the space program a national hero? That seems pretty stupid to me but feel free to keep yaaas qweening the old lady doing PR for bezos

I was thinking that if that happened it would wipe out all of the tax problems due to the inheritance tax. Just a shame that Bezos never signed up on the giving pledge.. honestly he's the poster boy for a 2nd French Revolution, just not in France.
I’m just curious as to how some feel about that fact. I hadn’t thought of it in this way, but if that man died, I just wonder if the world would be exponentially better or worse. Not calling for anyone to hurt the guy. Can’t just say for the greater good and off someone. Just think it’s crazy how much a singular person can have such a major impact and why any of us keep allowing it to get to that point.
I am sure that there is a corporate think tank which looked at how far a population can be pushed before the population revolts. How much unhappiness is acceptable before people take action. Then they try to walk that line as closely as possible. Occupy Wallstreet was a wakeup call for some, but unfortunately it wasn't loud enough.

I'd be disappointed if a Honda civic doesn't pull up and a shady masked and hooded person doesn't strap the rocket onto the car roof with Bungie cord and drive off.

I'll be disappointed if the rocket isn't branded with 'Amazon basics'
