I read how Pete Davidson is going into space next week on Bezos’ Blue Horizon spacecraft. I remember the days when astronauts had intense training to prepare them. Now you sign up, and a week later poof you’re considered an astronaut 🤷‍♂️

In times like these..

You’d think Jeff Bezos could be doing more with his billions, than flying celebrities that have more money than brains, like Pete Davidson to outer space later this month.

Sickening.

So Pete Davidson (my mailman’s cousin) is going to space but with Jeff Bezos’s (bald guy) company not Elon Musk’s (Tesla guy) because Elon is friends with Kanye (Pete’s enemy) and boys are dramatic

Blue Origin’s debut space flight took off last year on July 20 with founder Jeff Bezos, his brother Mark Bezos, commercial astronaut Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen.

Interestingly Funk was 82 when she took the flight while Daeman was just 18 years old, which made them the youngest and oldest person to fly in space. In the 10-minute trip, the Blue Origin rocket soared past the altitude of about 62 miles (100 km) above the Earth.
