This simping for billionaires is getting out of hand

[Geek Nasty]

The media is turning this bullshyt into some kind of tyc00n version of the space race when it's really just a bunch of rich a$$holes with more money than they can spend using old NASA tech to do what NASAs been doing for 60 years.

Now a damned rocket plane getting to the boundary of space is being treated like some great event. FOH

Again, NASA was doing this shyt in the 50s, just because some billionaire gets handed the blueprints we're all supposed to pretend we forgot all that and praise the capitalist gods.

Heard a great quote in a movie last night that it's the sign you're in a fascist government when the media is trying to make you worship the wealthy.

There are places that regular people can do the same that are on Groupon for like 300. This didn’t impress me at all it was tacky because Branson did it earlier than Bezos because Bezos wanted to take his brother on a day special to them. Branson lives on a private island paying no taxes but pops up for this bullshyt

gotta raise these taxes

The rich don’t(and won’t) pay the intended tax rates anyway… all raising the rates does is appease progressives, and fire up the conservative middle class.

they used to, so it is theoretically possible. but i do agree with our current regime, we cant do shyt to these people

It has nothing to do w thier accountants. They all think they''ll eventually become part of that class or it's grievance politics and think the higher taxes will go to 'welfare queens' ect.

It's probably both, but they're too dumb to realize they benefit from a higher tax base.

How many non astronauts have went into space? Ill wait

Post the links for a 300 suborbital fight on Groupon

But funny enough, thats kinda what this is about. Yeah the whole thing was a dikk waving contest, but the fact that a private company and not NASA was able to do this breaks down barriers for future investment and overall lowering the barrier of entry for regular citizens.
Would you pay 10 grand to go to space? I sure fukkin would. Optimizations in private spaceflight will allow for this.
