Captain Kirk returns.

Blue Origin was founded in 2000. SpaceX was founded in 2002.
Blue Origin has yet to even attempt an orbital flight. SpaceX made it to orbit for the first time in 2008, and delivered their first orbital operational payload in 2009. SpaceX has now had 130 successful orbital flights with 3 different rockets, including multiple crewed flights to orbit and the ISS.
Blue Origin can't even deliver the engines they're contracted to provide for the new Vulcan-Centaur rocket that ULA is building.
Calling anything they're doing 'primitive' is being too nice. They're a joke.
I just watched it. Kirk is like 90 and still running around. It's great.
Fuck Bezos. They need to stick him in one of those rockets and shoot it into the Sun.

We'd have to pay for a launch with SpaceX to make that happen. Honestly, that'd be even funnier.
Every time I hear the word "Astronaut" applied on the passengers of these joyrides(Blue Origin/Virgin Galactic), I just cringe. I think it disrespects the real astronauts that came before. They call themselves astronauts because they wore self made "astronaut" uniforms and paid for a ride???
Just because one dons on military fatigues and rides on a RHIB does not make one a Navy Seal, nor does jumping out of a plane in army fatigues with a parachute does one instantly becomes a Delta Force Operator....

They talk how important space travel is to the earth and making life better. I guess they don't believe in science for the sun will consume the earth one day. Takes balls though to make a penis shaped rocket knowing people will be calling you a dick.
That's not even going into space... It's just a trip up and they are freefalling back down. Blue Origin is a joke of a "space" program.
Meanwhile the average American is fat, broke and screwed.

I heard when launching into space today, William Shatner will be wearing a diaper........In solidarity with Joe Biden.
Just a reminder we sent men to the moon over 50 years ago.
Ironically, this isn't rocket science.
And these 'new' astronaughts don't even control the spacecraft (kinda like early Russian models).
Fun Fact: the first successful spaceflight is technically Alan Shepard as Gargarin had to "bail out" before landing. (The ship was designed that way). So by the rules, his flight didn't land. (Neither did Titov)
But he seemed like an ok guy, so I'll let it slide.

Technically they are going to space, albeit barely. The Kármán line (100km) is generally recognized as the point where 'space' begins, and the BO flights cross that line by a few miles.
They literally took a dick shaped rocket to space..................................barely space and for 10 minutes. Good for a 90y/o guy, sorta like a carnival ride but their systems is all but useless so far for anything but carnie rides.
In 10 years this thing will be an attraction launching off the strip in Vegas for $1500.00 a ticket…….
He didn’t have a chance because a giant hand appeared out of nowhere and chased them back to earth……
So did they charge extra for that thing that rides on his head???
I think it might be sentient... You know, like a wombat or something.

Or a cokehead...
Reminds me of back in the '80's when they did those Celebrity Scratch and Sniff cards. The Heather Locklear was nice. But avoid the Earnest Borgnine.

I saw an interview with him talking about that silly cop show. There was an episode where his character was supposed to pickup a couple of prostitutes and do a scene with them in the patrol car. So he and the other actor took the camera car to the shitty part of town, grabbed a couple hookers off the side of the road and did the scene lol.
I was disappointed at the police academy when we never once had to show an ability to ride on the hood of a police car while doing a high-speed chase.
And the fact that none of the chicks looked like Heather Locklear.

Weight gain is a comically known side affect of drinking Romulan Ale.
I'd have given a nut for someone to send up a fake Klingon Warbird to appear off his port side window.
Only when they drive across the country, looking for love....
It's just a damn shame Bezos didn't think the earth was flat.......

He must have had a leaky roof on that rocket.
Did anyone notice the blue, post hurricane tarps?

The "tarp" on launch was his return 'chute.......ooops.
Guess its not as bad as the co-pilot on Bransons ship putting the wings in return config while still in the "gaining altitude" part of the ride..............oooops.
