Bezo's rocket launch!

[John Schmidt]

Yes, it's kinda sophomoric but I still got a bit of a chuckle from the video. Frankly, I'd rather post something like this than respond to some of the ridiculous posts on the Piss & Moan Board.

Yup, LOTS of folks have noticed that similarity...

Oh and a totally ancillary observation, my long time profile picture (Taken summer of 2002) was taken on the highway right next to what is now the Blue Origin launch facilities on Highway 54 north of Van Horn Texas...

We young boys used slingshots to launch folded hankerchiefs that were tied on the corners to make parachutes, weighted on the bottom with a steel washer.
Shot them as high as we could straight up over our heads and watched them float down.
That's what I saw today on a larger scale.

The Mercury 7 described themselves as "spam in a can" when they were expected to ride in a capsule without the ability to act as pilots by having navigational abilities within their craft.  Alan Shepard is having a laugh somewhere.


I think he looked like Wavy Gravy from the Hog Farm.

I wonder if Amazon employees got to watch it?
"OK.  Now, everybody get back to work!"  "You've had your break!"  "Uncle Jeff needs the dough."

Did anyone notice that it looks like a big dildo or a pecker.

I've enjoyed reading about lots of people who hope Bezos just stays in space forever.

Yes...that's the entire theme of the video, and also the opinion of large numbers of observers...including myself. However, Florida is not to be outdone with the vision one receives as you approach the capital driving up highway 27 in Tallahassee. From the very beginning once the new building was completed some years ago, with tongue in cheek it has been labeled as Florida's own phallic symbol.
