Dont let him back to earth without charging him for shipping and handling.

[folarinosibodu]

He's talking to us like we will be on the flight sometime.

[warrior_pk]

Whenever anyone says 'astronaut'
My mind : Howard Wolowitz 😂

[robertandrade]

In the words of Austin Powers, "His spaceship looks like a giant.... JOHNSON!!!"... lol

[FRACTUREDVISIONmusic]

Mike as astronaut flew into space for all humanity. Through him and fellow NASA astronauts the past decades, we all went to space. Bezos, flew into space for himself, and we got to watch so we could be awed over Jeff himself. How fitting the shape of his rocket.

I love that spaceships are literally like, hey do want to sit on this explosion for a few minutes to go to space.

I really like the new Amazon Prime 10 minute delivery.

[hindustanimapper]

Imagine just gazing at the night sky and seeing Jeff Bezos flying around in space..

Convince me this guy doesn’t run a deli

[hamed]

I felt like I’m sitting in a spacecraft and he is the tour leader guy giving us a talk about the flight starting in the next few minutes.

Jeff Bezos- Uses more fuel in 13 minutes than you could in your lifetime.
Also Jeff Bezos-"I have an all new commitment to climate change"

[italotorres]

Amazon employees be hoping he doesn’t come back lmao 😂

[WhiskerWhippers]

He should’ve painted it red. Headline reads: “Bezos’ Red Rocket puts just the tip into space.”

[janheinbokel]

Mike Massimino is a Hero of Mine since His First appearance on TBBT

[jessicafreeborn]

I still can’t get over paying $28 million for an 11 minute ride

[admiscellaneous]

This "space" flight was the most petty event in history. They even have themselves congratulatory pins at the end.

[Did.You.Forget]

Billionaires are so high above us they’re literally in space...👀

[lucasjones]

"I wanna figure out how that experience will have changed them" is a nice way of telling billionaires to use their wealth to help the planet for once

[CBG]

I’m so appalled that nobody offered a seat to an actual astronaut for the first flight.

If I was JB, I would totally want an experienced astronaut to go with me because I would learn SO MUCH about what I’m seeing and things that are just mind blowing to the human brain.

Mike Massimino was great on "The Big Bang Theory"
