Can't they save that for when he's on board.

Let's put him on the next flight and invite also musk!
If we killed all billionaires now, only more would rise in their place. We need to fix the system that bred these people.
Why not both?
You mean like the all-powerful French aristocracy?
If we killed all billionaires now, only more would rise in their place.
So you're saying if we keep killing bilionaires, eventually everyone will be a billionaire?
When i see bezos and musk, specifically those two fucks, I don't see any problem in them flying to apace on Spaceship or New Glenn.
Just imagine burning bezos flying through the air in a livestream. I would pay to watch that!
Hell yeah! Billionaires losing money. Hope noone lost their lives in that assholes quest to rape anything untouched by greed
Nobody was hurt. As a general rule nobody fuels a rocket without planning as if it's going to explode in exactly this fashion. The pad didn't survive, but nobody was anywhere near this thing when it blew up
Well, there's "as a general rule" and then there's "A billionaire wanted to save a negligible amount of money", I personally assume the latter when talking about these parasites
Luckily in this case, the people who build the rocket aren’t allowed to launch them for this very reason. Even NASA has a completely different team of people who launch rockets (in Florida) than who build them (Alabama, Mississippi, and others) or run the mission (Houston).
The actual launch range is run by the Space Force and they have the final say on when and where you can launch and where you can’t be during launch (officially called an exclusion zone).
isn't a large part of it funded by taxpayer money?
I wish the video was long enough to hear the sound of my prime membership going up in price
They forgot to take the hand-brake off
Boo-Yah for the great American Private Sector! All we have to to is get government to the size where we can drown it, and Business will take care of everything and do it more efficiently for less money, puh-raise JEE-zuz-ah!
And yes, that was snark.
I don't understand how they're allowed to pollute like this.
I don't give a shit what purpose the rocket was supposed to have. It's not worth it.
They're not. They'll be fined several thousands of dollars. Bezos will cry as he writes such an enormous check.
While I agree the industry is under-regulated, spaceflight has been a massive benefit for humanity. Earth would not be able to grow half the food it does now. Global communication and logistics would be significantly more unreliable and expensive. Even down to simple things like cellphones would not work without GPS.
Spaceflight is not the problem. Unregulated bilionaires and corporations are.
I don’t understand how they’re allowed to pollute like this.
Compared to your average coal power plant it's CO2 imprint is tiny.
Scott Manley has a couple of things to say about the fallout. It's not good.
