Space is a little closer

Richard Branson just completed a sub-orbital flight to space aboard his Virgin Galactic space plane, and in a couple of weeks Jeff Bezos will attempt a flight on his Blue Origin sub-orbital space craft. It appears space is finally starting to become accessible for all of us, or at least those with a ton of money. Of course as time goes by it will become less expensive, extend into orbital flights, and eventually the planets. This is a great time to be born. I have always wanted to do this, but being poor and 71 this won't happen for me, but to all those who follow, congratulations and have fun.

Maybe hold off on that future magico purchase that you’ve been planning since you signing on the dotted line at your last magico purchase…
Or both…space and Magico…we won’t judge
Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Maybe we can repopulate Mars with this current generation of space cadets....

I had to laugh, there was a petition circulating for bezos to stay in space- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

FWIW and apropos of nothing
-- I would opine that Branson is far more interesting than his other two space-cowboy competitors. Branson just seems to enjoy himself more, and have that true, 18th and 19th Century sense of the adventurer in him.
Bezos and Musk are just... anomalous.
EDIT: PS It's also always kind of amused me that Jeff Bezos, presumably by choice, looks like the Big Boss character (does he have a name?) from Dilbert.
