Jeff Bezos, the world's richest man, thanked his employees and customers on Tuesday for subsidizing his Blue Origin spaceflight, during which he and three others spent 11 minutes inside the "New Shepard" capsule after lifting off from the desert in Van Horn County, Texas.

He made it? That is too bad. I was hoping he would auger in and crater upon return. Oh, well...better luck next time.

With that cowboy hat he should have done a Maj."King" Kong (Strangelove) riding the capsule on the way back down!

Talk to some of his drivers who deliver the packages. 200 per trip. No lunch, no bathroom break. Sounds like a good job. Reach for the stars Bozo.

How much did he SPEND for goods and services that otherwise would have been left in his pocket? How many manufacturers and retailers benefited from his trip?

It is a great accomplishment. Bezos has worked very hard for everything he has, created, and managed the companies that did it. We are fortunate to have that kind of entrepreneurial talent in this country. AMZN has 1,271,000 employees. Bezos has done a lot, and should be congratulated on his great day.

Well, my Hammer and Sickle flag just arrived from Amazon in one day. I'm going to hang it in protest of Bezos.

Use enough dynamite there Butch ?
Nice carbon foot print if you can pay for it.
It's going to cost him. SpaceEx is a million miles ahead and Musk is too smart to risk his life on a joyride.

There is much to dislike about Jeff Bezos but I love the American spirit and the quest to explore. Congrats on this one, Jeff. Now about the Washington Post…

This comes just in time to celebrate the new litigation rules for the use of Amazon. Just try to make a purchase.

#6, I understand what you are saying but I don't like his politics. He belongs to a party that is trying very hard to take God out of society and that same party supports abortion. The Greatest Commandment says to love God with all your heart, mind, soul and to love your neighbor as yourself so let me point out the Democrat Party runs contrary to God's Commandments. So, yes, Jeff Bezos has worked hard, created, and managed companies but his politics indicate he is living in his own ways and not God's ways. After all, there are a lot of other people who work very hard. There have been too many times where I feel as if I am being lectured to by a Democrat. God is my authority - not Jeff Bezos or anyone else.
As I said, I understand what #6 is saying but I am soured on Jeff Bezos and company. . .

Hey #14, Bezos spends time in Texas. I heard on War Room that he’s quietly been buying up a lot of things here.

Amazon customers can decide to be Amazon customers and Amazon employees can decide to be Amazon employees but neither can decide how Bezos spends his money.
