    And what's with the hat?

    While cool to watch, I'll be more impressed when they pull off an orbit or something. What Branson did was done by spy plane pilots decades ago, and Bezos were more or less a human cannonball. I hope they both continue to push forward to do bigger flights. Heck, I'll never be on one of them, but it's nice to see someone trying to make advances.
    And as someone already noted, the most impressive thing was the way the booster came back.
    I do think Musk is doing more to advance technology than the other two combined, though. Musk is actually putting things in space while the others are creating vanity rides for rich people.

    Also, by American taxpayers who are quite generous allowing billionaires to pay a lower (if any) rate on their taxes than their employees. Even if you took every dime invested in Blue Origin as taxes (a billion a year) it still falls short of what you and I pay.

    PS - the hat shows that he realizes he's in Texas. (My guess is that it was a gift from the squeeze).

    His ex is much more attractive than that plastic-face woman he's xing now. God, her face looks like a Halloween mask.

    It’s well know his, ahem, size is among the largest of billionaires. And I’m not talking wallet.

    I produced TV with her a few times and she’s actually really cool...she would fly her own jet to our shoots, alongside a copilot who famously quit the Air Force Academy over its forced evangelical indoctrination (his dad was a general, I think).
    Her ties to sports are well known of course, as she’s the mother of a couple of Tony Gonzalez’s kids.
