in the vague hope that when the world really starts to go to hell they’ll be able to just leave it?
And where the fuck do they think they might go? (And still be able to exist for any greater length of time than they would staying on earth?)
That billionaires exist is an indication of a totally dysfunctional economic system.
That we need billionaires to be the financers of human space exploration is partly the same but also partly a failure of public and governmental imagination.
Blaming them for attributed motives of wanting to escape the planet if or when it all goes tits up is a bit daft, really, seeing as there is nowhere to escape to and will almost certainly not be within their lifetimes.
Also, when it happens I demand a more alliterative headline @beschizza …
Billionaire Bezos Berates Being Beaten By Billionaire Branson’s Better Booster Boondoggle
