Tune in Tuesday, July 20 at 4:30 a.m. PT to watch Jeff Bezos become one of the first astronauts launched into space by Blue Origin on its New Shepard rocket.

To refer to these individuals as "Astronauts" or even "Crew" is disrespectful and an insult to "true" astronauts (those who have work hard, trained hard, circled the earth, and beyond). These individuals did nothing but go on an expensive, glorified joy ride. They are simply passengers.

Billions of pounds were spent on the spaceship. They bought the camera and video gear from eBay for a couple of quid

I'm very disappointed that the recovery ground crew didn't put gorilla suits on to greet them.

Most expensive elevator ride you can have !

Amazing how they went to the space inside of a huge glans!

[FV-uuiz]

That"s a long way to go to avoid taxes.

still waiting for actual onboard footage...

[VPPAF]

so where is the onboard footage of launch from start to finish yes i have now seen them floating about but we want to see there reactions at launch and the landing

[andrewlothian]

Looks like a lot of camera trickery going on

Reminds me of the start to an Austin Powers movie, that rocket had mojo! 👍👍🦄

If I walked all the way across Texas to the Mexico border, crossed the Rio Grande, and stepped foot on Mexican soil, turned right back around and walked home…. Did I really go to Mexico?

No

Bezos and Co went on a joy ride, they didn’t go to space

There needs to be a new term for this. It's not astronaut.

[Richard-vksx]

If ever a rocket ship looked phallic, this is it. Most guys at midlife, opt for the Porsche.

[Xzh]

it would be impressive if they orbited the earth at list once.

[ilfordwines]

I think virgin flight was more interesting according to this

1:42:00 There are gaming PCs with better CG

[flyingpaladin]

"The "Bobbet Maneuver" is One has landed "

01:45:55 - Notice how the velocity is positive, falls to zero and then goes positive again? That ain't a velocity, Blue Origin... That's a speed ;)

Look at those employees, lined up and waving just like the email memo all of them received said to do!
