Bezos and Branson,
sitting in a tree,
looking at SpaceX live streams,
to learn about rocketry.

[lukeselvon]

Hasn't Jeff Who tried to patent static fires yet? Or at least file suit for using civilians who aren't paying for the flight?

Am I missing something? Must be a type-o in the description? It is stated: "...the Inspiration4 mission will liftoff at 8:02pm EDT Wednesday, Sept. 5...". Isn't it going up on Sept. 15 or 16 (depending what you read)?
