Yesterday Jeff Bezos and his +3 rocketed a toe over the Kármán line** into outer space and returned in 11 minutes making the second historic flight (meh?) this month; the first being Richard Branson’s historic**** jet flight to almost outer space but about 69,000 feet lower than Bezos. And who knows what we will see in the near future from the third person in this trio of arrogant gazillionaires, Elon Musk. Who knows what his company, SpaceX, is up to? Elon is currently preoccupied with mining another bazillion dollars in cryptocurrency because why, he needs the money?
“Hey, Tres Amigos from the Billionaires Boys Club, how about using a handful of your cash to pay taxes, feed the hungry, provide shelter to the homeless???”
And if any of you haters think I would be so shallow as to rant against successful intrepid billionaires out of jealousy, you can just…you should…well…SHUT UP!
**The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in treaties all Nerd-related pursuits.
**** Why do I keep saying historic? It’s redundant. If it happened, it’s in the past, it’s a part of history. I just made a historic trip to the bathroom. Big deal.
