Richard Branson Set To Launch This Weekend In Billionaire Space Race
We now live in a society where mankind‘s potential is being funneled into pet projects for billionaires instead of furthering our knowledge of the universe and our species. We. live. in. a. society. 😑
Hmmm. With the amount of money he spent on this project he could have helped to end child hunger and homelessness all over the world. Babylon priorities is wrong as usual.
when will space hotels be a thing
Branson made it about as high as the 1944 v2 rockets
Instead of wasting money on this 💩, how about helping people in need? This story is just aggravating.
What an arrogant piece of garbage. Flaunting his ridiculous amounts of money.
How about spend it to get the salt out of the sea water. Maybe solve something worthwhile. 🤬🤮
What a overrated event. Waste of money. They didn't even go anywhere. I hope they blow up next time.
Congrats to Mr. Branson and his entire team. They are GREAT! Another milestone in our race for space.
On his Fox News call, Trump credited the space race to the launch of the Space Force in 2019. He also claimed that he'd reopened NASA, though the agency never closed.
"There was grass growing in the cracks of the runway. There were all broken-up runaways. There was grass growing through those cracks. And it's now a vibrant, incredible place," Trump said of NASA, adding: "That was a closed, dead field, and I'm very, very proud of the Space Force."
Good riddance. )
What a moon shot! He does things in grand style, that's for sure! His grit and courage are inspiring!
The puzzling cord greely reproduce because anthony gradually print over a savory grip. terrible, tired argentina
If I had a billion dollar I would buy as much land as possible and plant trees… I would build a big forest
The Horizon line looks pretty straight in this footage.ðŸ¤â€Â
And this is from today, live.🤷ðŸÂ½â€ÂÂ♀ï¸ÂÂ
boring.
Just goes to show you these two billionaires are so bored that they’re willing to risk their lives to prove a point.
Do they believe their doing the will of God ðŸ™ÂÂâ“
Just another example of billionaires doing what billionaires do, so I'm not altogether impressed.
Richard Branson reported that the brave die young and the careful do not live.
I would answer him that the careful have time to be educated to guide the brave, because a pointless bravery does not mean that it will have a positive effect and that my view to find resources that can be really exploited in space, that only the planets would offer them that they are capable of hosting life, and that collecting residual resources from other planets may make you waste more useful resources, because the quality of each element of resources is different.
The closest planet that could offer reliable resources is Poseidon, as it has water, ammonia and methane in the form of ice, the situation shows a planet capable of hosting life that is simply not found or has not entered the habitable zone of a solar system.
Blue Origin Promo!
I don't have the money to go but it was a dream to go to space since I was 10
SpaceX – oh you still there
How does one want to view it on a device ?
TWO THUMBS UP, GREAT CONTENT AND GOOD HOST. VIDEO RECOMMENDED BY OG Reggie B. Space Age Traders, Team Leader.
You go Sir Branson .
God be with him and keep him safe.
We should boycott these videos these are burns for common people who are suffering through covid , inflation, high rent , shortages of house. And these billionares are living life and not paying taxes
If, I had a to build a space machine, I would build a big one.
Bezos can only afford to toy around with this hobby of his because he Doesn't Pay Any Taxes… nor does he Pay His Employees a Fair Wage.
When you have too much money, the world is not enough as your playground, gotta go to outer space.
Hi E.T.'s mom, can he come out and play?
Why did I watch the video when I knew I won't understand a thing! Now back Facebook…
No offense but I thought this was going into orbit and not to the edge of space…
seriously? All the homeless and hungry and this is how the billionaires spend their money?
They all wanna get off this planet soon cause they know we're all doomed down here
Not a spaceship…just a glorified bottle rocket. SpaceX is the only real launching company.
What if they both die because of an accident during these flights. 2021 wouldn’t be surprised 😲
