Bezos' Penis Rocket
Forums:
I keep hearing how significant this flight is, as well as the recent Virgin flight. Sub-orbital flights are just a big kinetic, parabolic toss, and no where close to orbital space flights.
Seems like a glorified Six Flags ride to me.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was
Jeff Bezos was the top American philanthropist in 2020, giving away $10.1 billion to non-profit efforts associated with climate change and education, according to a ranking released this week by The Chronicle of Philanthropy.
I believe he borrowed the design from Dr Evil's Penis Rocket,,, removing the balls helps with turbulence.

In all fairness, if I had dude's money and had already given $10+ billion away to charity in the last year, I would probably splurge and launch myself into space too (and probably a lot of other ridiculous stuff too).

....and this one wins the media relations spin prize for using the space trip opportunity to talk about worker safety, for which Amazon has a less than stellar record.
Blue Origin now has a 100% safety record for human flight — that's safer than a job as a truck driver or warehouse worker

So there are technical reasons why the spaceship resembles a penis:

Science.
And every Amazon worker should, at the very minimum, be given a living wage, safe working conditions, health care, paid maternity leave, and the opportunity to be shot into space with time off (that would be bad ass IMHO) as part of any collective bargaining agreement,
But better yet, the workers who made this all possible should make like Paul Kantner and Co. and hijack the starship:

That's a whole lotta money to offer a thrill ride while contributing to climate change. Not inspiring at all, imo.

Thanks for the reminder. Enjoyed that.
Post landing Bezos and Strahan were excitingly talking about every astronaut wanting to go up there again.
Bezos says, next time you're paying me. Strahan goes, I'M IN!

If Bezos didn't care about optics, he wouldn't broadcast it far and wide. Remember: it's his penis rocket. There's more than a little ego involved here.
