Can one really say one has been to space after only a few minutes of weightlessness?
Ho-hum. 🥱

Yes we need to do this too. But it's a both/and, not an either/or. ⚖

Intelligent species? Compared to what?

We also left quite a mess in orbit around the earth with thousands of pieces of space junk.

It all comes down to the money.

As far as politics, we are not on the same page but that doesn't mean I don't support any legal, financial endeavors he chooses to pursue and spend his money on.

I agree with you. To start telling people how to spend their own money, no matter how greedy or selfish they seem to be, would be wrong. It is their right to spend it any way they want to. To dictate otherwise is taking away a fundamental right of freedom.

I was channeling my inner Socialist Child sarcasm. I thought, now if I was a liberal anti capitalist, what would I think of Mr. Bezos and his $ 6 Billion bottle rocket trip ? Now I personally dislike the man, and I can think of way better uses for that money, but it's his money and he can blow any way he wants to. Imagine if he gave it to H****r B***n. There would be a lot of happy hookers and coke dealers.

That's a good rule! A large amount of brainwashing and indoctrination has gone into convincing young people about g****l w*****g and other environmental concerns being an existential threat; Then they proceed to throw their trash everywhere. Just look at some of the mess left behind every time there is a large gathering together of people. Marches, protests, festivals, immigration caravans, etc.

At this time, no other species from beyond earth is known. So, no, you didn't need to say on earth.

He could give it to the U.S. to help pay down the debt. But we all know the money would be pissed away on some other stupid project the government can't resist wasting money on because it isn't coming out of the politicians' own pocket. In their mind, there is plenty more where that came from, and when they run out, just print more.

That's for sure, and private sector money gets the job done. Government money mostly helps politicians and their wealthy handlers.
