![]() ![]() Is that super easy to do? Go ahead, show me the math that makes that happen. Should they have focused their intelligence on something else? This is what they went to school for, so of course they would use their knowledge this way. Engineers designing the rocket (come on, there is someone on that team who purposely made that thing look like a dildo and then convinced Bezos that it was the perfect design, that person deserves some kind of award) and the numerous other scientists involved probably love seeing their hard work mocked all over the internet. If SpaceX, Blue Origins, and Virgin Galactic are all innovating and attempting to come up with better solutions, while at the same time being rewarded with bigger government contracts once they have breakthroughs, then maybe we could actually see major changes in our space capability.Īnd finally, the thing that really bothers me about making fun of this launch is that this was not just Jeff Bezos. Isn’t SpaceX just Elon Musk’s space vanity project? How come we like that one, but not Blue Origins? For those of us who are fans of astronomy and the prospect of someday having humanity travel the stars, then we need people working on it. It was only last year when SpaceX launched two astronauts to the ISS and everyone celebrated it. I am a fan of space, so I cannot be too upset with him. Instead he has decided to blow billions of dollars developing rocket technology in order to try and get into space. He could be buying all the art in the world and locking it away in a vault so no one could enjoy it. He could be hoarding it (more than he is already). ![]() ![]() I mean, I can think of worse things he could be spending his money on. But, he has decided to put himself into space. Did someone just take the number of homeless people and estimate how much it would cost to build them all a tiny house?) or help eradicate hunger problems in the world. Yes, he could solve homelessness (I keep seeing people say that it would only cost $28 billion to solve the homeless problem in America…I question what that actually means. I agree that it would be nice if he did something else with his billions of dollars. I know, you are shocked.įirst of all, I do not like Bezos. Instead, I am going to take a different route. I am not going to jump on that bandwagon. Either people made fun of his rocket (it looks like a PENIS, hahahahaha) or they joked about him not being about to get into space completely. Just kidding, the internet mocked him mercilessly over it. Naturally everyone celebrated this achievement. It received over 1,200 likes and 189 retweets in two days.As everyone knows, Jeff Bezos flew his penis-shaped rocket (aren’t all rockets shaped like a penis?) to the edge of space and then returned home. For example, this tweet from July 20th by references the low wages rumored to be paid to Amazon employees. Twitter users took the opportunity to reference the allegations of employees being overworked at Amazon warehouses. For example, u/RossOfFriends uploaded this meme to Reddit's /r/memes on July 22nd, where it received 34,500 upvotes, 10 comments and was 97 percent upvoted. Jeff Bezos’ decision to wear a cowboy hat and become a "space cowboy" has led to debates and numerous memes after the launch. It received 286 likes and 59 retweets within two days. This became the most widespread meme from the launch, with many referring to the New Shepard as the "Penis Rocket." For example, a July 20th tweet from (seen below) references the rocket’s appearance while simultaneously mocking Bezos. Many Twitter users worldwide noticed and mocked the rocket’s shape for being akin to that of male genitalia. This was also the first of many online jokes regarding the shape of the New Shephard. It received over 18,500 likes and 1000 retweets. Only half an hour after the launch, Twitter user tweeted this response (seen below), in which he made a joke regarding the rocket. The launch (shown below) was livestreamed and was part of Bezos and Blue Origin's attempt to create a commercial space flight enterprise. Bezos exited first and greeted onlookers while wearing a cowboy hat. The launch was smooth and without incident, and after a 15-minute flight, the capsule parachuted to the ground safely. ![]() ET, it was the first commercial spaceflight carrying paying passengers and also contained the youngest and oldest people so far to ever reach orbit. On July 20th, 2021, Jeff Bezos and three others launched to the edge of space in a historic mission aboard a Blue Origin rocket known as the New Shephard. ![]()
