This publicity stunt was pointless.

It didn't provide science.

It didn't provide any metrics.

It didn't advance any knowledge of space flight or rocketry.

It was Bezos showing off. Period. What an ass.

And every one of the people on the flight are useless tools of the oligarchy.

Kerry Perry, whose music I once enjoyed, is a major disappointment.
