If you're interested in watching a rocket go up, it's live now
How much is on the taxpayers nickel? Where did the space technology come from to begin with. What about the NASA facilities they are using? I agree that it is their money to do what they wish with but they aren't doing anyone favors nor are they required to. All the hiring and job creator crap isn't charity, it is an investment with the intention of gaining more wealth. They sure as shit aren't heroes like they are made out to be.... spending this kind of personal money on personal projects... building a personal space program... is EXACTLY how the uber rich used to give back to society as well... ever hear of a major rail line being installed by the US government? (yes there are a few tiny examples....) but the all the "greats" who helped pump moneys into our infrastructure were in their own times exactly like the current uber rich.
(where do you think all the money to make the rocket go to? Bezos did not pay himself to build a rocket, he gave money to tens of thousands of people to built his rocket - this is how they pump money and intellectual advancement into a capitalist society.)
So what's your point? That is what I said. You made it sound as if them hiring people was some sort of philanthropical endeavor, it's not.@ Notarealsignhuy: Name one great from the past who helped build infrastructure AND who did not use any resources from the public (this would include public education used to build personal knowledgebase right?), AND lastly who had zero intent of personal gain.
Rockafellers? no, Smiths? No, Morgans? no, need I go on?
It was probably in homage to the founders early direct to VHS movie venture.I just wonder if it was deliberate making that rocket look like a big dick, Richard I mean, lol.
