At this point, the "astronauts" are just rich folk who don't pay taxes and have enough disposable income to fart around being weightless for 3 minutes or so. What a crock.

 I don't generally suffer from wealth envy but there was just something about this "mission" in the rocket shaped like a giant dick.

Been watching humans go into space for 60 years, so I don't get all the excitement.
If I had to pick a winner between the two recent flights, I'd go with the Britt with his classy looking spaceship that comes in for a normal landing vs Bozos and his sixties era look with the parachutes and crash landing. 🚀

I'm with Phil .  Rich folks playing with expensive toys.  I just hope that their employees made good money constructing those toys

I wouldn't get on that thing if you paid me $20 million.
