To Infinity and beyond…. at the “edge” of space.
Sounds like a ride on the Vomit Comet.
Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, has announced that he and his brother Mark Bezos will be joining the auction winner on New Shepard’s first human flight next month.
Blue Origin made the announcement early Monday morning and the Bezos brothers will be joining the winner of the auction — where bidding already has reached $2.8 million with nearly 6,000 bidders from 143 countries. The live auction for the seat will conclude on June 12.
The New Shepard will launch from remote Van Horn, Texas — approximately 100 miles east of El Paso.
The flight, which will last for around 30 minutes, will fly the passengers to the edge of space when they will then get to unbuckle and float for three minutes before the capsule returns to Earth.
Everyone thinking what I’m thinking?
What a pompous ass. 60 years after the Russians put an man in orbit and the best he can do is 3 minutes?
And yes Gitmo, that was the first thing that crossed my mind. Don’t feel great, but….
Welll… BYE.
This summer’s Prime deal: A bottle of Jeff Bezos vomit.
Sadly I can see people buying this!!
GITMO
BOOM?
Hey Bezos, If your launch vehicle needs any O-rings before you lift off I have some good connections at Morton Thiokol.
I hope Maj.Tom gets him.
Gitmo – rocket going up a few hundred feet and then falling back to ground zero with a tremendous impact? No, didn’t cross my mind 😉
“To the moon, Alice!”
Will space travel help me with my same-day Prime member deliveries?
U da bomb, Jeffie!
@Uncle Al: Add a “D”…
The Bozo Bros. going to the edge of “space,” huh?
Could have bought an old X-15 and done that.
Already richer than Croesus, he’s so insecure that he’s gotta scream: “Look at ME!”
Fukkin pathetic.
izlamo delenda est …
Maybe they can alter the flight plan and require him to retrieve the voyager II before he’s allowed to land.
I’m reminded of that terribly tasteless joke after the Challenger disaster. Remember: “Hey, what’s this little red button do?”
^^^ or “What was the color of Christa McCauliffe’s eyes?”
Ans. – Blue – one blew this way and the other blew that way.
“Everyone thinking what I’m thinking?”
Yea, one way ticket, one way ticket… 😉

To me this only proves what a total HOAX is all manned space flight. Low Earth Orbit or nothing. Note that LEO is only the 1st step. You would require an airlock, a decent space suit, and a re-entry system to actually DO anything. And in this stunt they are not even getting anywhere high or fast enough for orbit. Useless.
Hope for a BID BEZOS KA-BOOM on the launch pad!
