[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Marjorie Taylor Greene having a seat in Congress, is like a Flat Earther having a job at NASA.

[DynaCatlovesme]

Don't kid yourself; it was all tax payers' money.

[vaxcuimastisindeserto]

besos should treat his employees better

[keenae]

I did not expect that mans comments. Well done him

[rexkey]

moving manufacturing into space is the best long-term solution to our problems here on Earth

[alanchelnick]

Doesn't excite me. Just a billion dollar carnival ride

[TooBadThatDidntKillMe]

Meanwhile, Amazon Warehouse workers still have to pee inside used water bottles.

[garydavidson]

I can do a lot if I didn't pay taxes and get refund from the government for my needs

[gravityking]

You can't call yourself an astronaut if you don't orbit Earth at least once.

[gandydancer]

Stephanie just remember that the space program was a combination of government and private industry. Government/taxpayers paid private industry to develop space vehicles.

[stephanielight]

It can happen in MANY places; not just the Dysfunctional USA!

[mikehorton]

The little tickle rabbit coming off it at the base is a nice touch and it’s ribbed. Nice touches.

[JeepTJay]

2:51 Actually, what he said, is let’s move manufacturing out of the jurisdiction of labor laws. 😂

[ping]

Bezos in a cowboy hat made me feel the same as graham with a machine gun

[notrixamoris]

If Bazos, Branson and Musk join their space program together...will they call it EARTH FEDERATION...

[Ahmadabbasii]

a lot of people could have used that wasted money much better

[magnaviator]

Did it enter orbit? no it didn't...oh please, you could do the same in a weather balloon.

[kschuman]

To Stephanie "go work for Fox" Ruhle : If we've reached the point were billionaires can more effectively finance big science projects than the US government, I think we've got some more-than-serious problems with income inequality in the US.

[alansmith]

A ride on NASA's Vomit Comet is cheaper!

[emsleywyatt]

Scott is incorrect. Ride wasn't the youngest person in space, the Russian Titov was.
