#ABCNLUpdate #BillionaireSpaceRace #VirginGalactic
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. 😑
Proof that we don't need nor can rationalize, justify #Billionaires!
With the appropriate distribution of wealth, knowledge & technology, we can assure that no one, NOT have safe water/sanitation; cruelty-free food, or protective shelter.
Notice how they didn't die while doing this but a daredevil dies as soon as his rocket takes off.
Racing to their demise. Sad.
Billionaire egos!
Tax payers funded billionaire space toy
People really mad at anyone who is rich these days. Granted I understand some of the hate but if it wasn't for rich people and crazy venture with small steps we'd still be riding horses communicating by mail.
Proverbs 23:5 "Will thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven."
Kinda hilarious that no one cares about Richard Branson's space flight…
They could save billions by creating a virtual reality space flight and dedicate the money saved to fixing up the earth.
Bezos rocket looks like a big D…
Now we build mobile gundam
1961 : Yuri Gagarin 327km (177 miles) high in orbit
2011 : Millionaire Dennis Tito on the ISS International Space Station 253 miles
2021 : narcissistic billionaires only a low 56 miles (Branson) and 62 miles (Bezos).
When history laughs at billionaire's PR stunts.
Fake AF
Be safe
Yep, space race heating up things everywhere ……
Isn't Branson, Obama BF?!😃
O LORD I WANT TO BE RICHER THAN THIS MEN, AMEN.
Don't let them come back until they pay $5B taxes each.
Can we have a pool on who will be the first billionaire to die in a fiery space crash?
Branson & Bezos are cool but I'm putting my money on Elon 🚀
Trump should go since he's the number one genius space cadet LOL
Branson is one really cool dude. 💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕
Hopefully they will not fail. We cannot lose Bezos and Branson.
Jesus, please keep him up there near you. And the other one too
Can they take the drumphs with them ??? PLEASE 😲
Mind boggling how about 2/3 of the worlds population can't afford 3 full meals in the World but yet we have "Breaking News" about supee ultra rich racing to space.
Lmao this is wild on so many levels.
I would love branson, bezos,and musk in orbit ….forever 😈

Biden the clown 🤡🤡🤡
Copycat branson
Surely these guys will be Fu#king up the Ozone.
If you know anything about the great amount of trash in orbit and you also heard that something has to be done about it. If you're going to interview on the subject you should know something about it beforehand. Opinion of one who abhors mediocrity.
#crudeoil and I'm single and taxable
Space has been around for hundreds of yrs and yet scientist don't know much about it
Wow. The number of people here on Earth whose lives could be saved if this money went toward green technology for reducing carbon emissions or cleaning the oceans, or toward medical research or reducing medical and pharmaceutical costs for patients around the world; Or toward mass distribution of the coronavirus vaccines; Or for supplying food and clean water to the poor around the world; Or for sustainable organic farming; Or really anything other than this billionaire white male pissing contest.
