    In all seriousness, that's a pretty ballsy of a "fuck you" move on Bezos' part. Musk has managed to do all kinds of shit with his rockets, but he's never flown on one, and Branson said he'll take the first commercial Virgin Galactic flight, but that hasn't happened yet. Presumably, the others will match the dickwaving gauntlet that has been thrown down.

    I felt like one of those redneck trailer trash NASCAR fans, watching Richard Branson last week and Jeff Bezos today.

    All I wanted to see was some really good crashes and 'splosions. :(

    Why would you want to work for Blue Origin or VirginGalactic when you can, you know, work for space companies/organizations that are actually doing shit, like SpaceX or JPL?

    This is the Blue Origin Space News Thread so it deserves to be here, and I don't want to deal with the Red Room BS lately. So, whatever.
