Jeff Bezos' spaceflight: Live updates

The view from the capsule on Mission NS-15 on April 14, 2021. Blue Origin

Over the past decade, Blue Origin has built and flown four different New Shepard vehicles on a grand total of 14 different fully automated, uncrewed test flights. And the vehicle that will be used on Tuesday is the same one that flew the previous two test flights. The company is known to paint a small picture of a tortoise on the side of a capsule after each flight as a sort of visual tally for how many spaceflights each vehicle has flown.It's also a hat tip to the official Blue Origin mascot, which the company says symbolizes its slow-and-steady development philosophy., which stands for"Reusable Space ShipEach dome-shaped New Shepard crew capsule is about 10 feet high and 12.5 feet wide.

For a peek at what the astronauts will see during their trip, here's a video captured from inside a New Shepard capsule during a 2017 test flight that also flew a dummy nicknamed"

Are billionaires just having financial pissing contests while the rest of us watch as money that could pay off our various debts burns as rocket fuel? Cause it sure looks like it.

New more expensive Concord.

Return journey, NY-Londn releases 0.7T carbon per head. Return journey2 space results into 70 tons of Carbon. It's 3.5 times average annual release of American(20T) per head/ 18 times average annual release per head, world. U+me R financing this by using services. U care?

THE GROSSEST WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE UNIVERSE!

It looks like a wiener, has anyone made a flying to Uranus joke yet?

He should have just stayed up there.

Nobody gives a shit

shit looks so fake

Is this the world’s first self-yeeting?

Let’s me see: The planet is dying, poverty is out of control, homelessness is rampant and this idiot is spending billions for a 2 minutes trip to the edge on the atmosphere? STOP SHOPPING AT AMAZON! I do!

“Giant dick blasts off for space. Both he and the rocket safely returned”.

Me looking at that Rocket and realising why JeffBezos was trending with FleshGordon earlier...

Try not to lose heart everyone. Musk could still be incinerated on the launch pad.

💥 🤞

Anyone know what the carbon footprint on one of these rockets is? Surely larger than the average american uses in one year. Disgusting.

Basically the Vomit Comet

Can we leave him there?

Will his next act be selling the world?

AlanGillies Pathetic vanity projects

Space should not be a playground for tycoons who just want thrills and excitement instead of research and exploration beyond. Space tourism will reduce exploration and scientific research to a fiction thriller. Both tycoons could have donated money for research to Universities..

Wow, billionaire recreates what NASA did 60 years ago. Yippee. Should we be applauding or something? BezosInSpace

They are polluters.

Bezos a traitor to his own Cuban heritage FreeCuba

i wish we could make the rich people fix our issues on earth, like world hunger which bezos could literally fix, before they start “colonizing space”

Way to go, 2nd place.

SpacePeen I is a go. I repeat: SpacePeen I is UP.

Ridiculous

thanks

Congratulations on pouring roughly 300 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere JeffBezos

This is so ridiculous. Watching a rich POS make it like he did something significant. The money they blew could’ve done so much for people and it means nothing to them in their 15 minutes of amusement. He’s not an astronaut, they didn’t go into space and now his ego gets stroked.

Tax. The. Rich.

Now what? He gets an “I did it” button but is the Earth any better? What benefits come from this except to sooth a billionaire’s ego?

snjssbbss That’s a penis

Testosteron driven billionaires

Wanna bet that MacKenzie is saying “stay there!”

I really don’t care do you

Dont know about you but overall process and system looks “cleaner” than the competitor👀 I mean they made it look so easy! JeffBezos blueorigin Congrats!!

NASA did it decades ago

Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Targets Bigger Space GoalsJeff Bezos' launch Tuesday is a small step as it tries to make a giant leap in winning government contracts and competing with Elon Musk’s SpaceX Makes sense. Space being either a duopoly or oligopoly would make it consistent with where other markets in American capitalism have been going. ¡Ve a Dios y luego quédate allí! For the good of humanity we can only hope the spaceship explodes on live stream.

Before we boldly go where no one has gone before let’s fix earth first horrible Who gives an actual shit about few billionaires going barely into space?
