Wally Funk, The 'Heart Of This Mission,' Finally Reaches Space At 82
Oh wow, millions spent like the drop of a dime for 3 min. Of space.
Frivolous Idiots!
Hes the richest man on earth. I doubt he even noticed.
@420KinK At least for 3 minutes he was not the richest man on earth.
And he still hasn’t paid his taxes.
@Lisa Lightner good point! lol
Jeff, give your workers some hazard pay for making you 60 BILLION richer during the pandemic!
And he needs to pay his taxes.
I guess I’m supposed to care about very rich people reminding me how poor I am
Yes, they expect us to be inspired by their accomplishment of wasting money on joy rides instead of paying their taxes like the rest of us do. 🙄
Well, that is the magical ingredient for success….looking up to the rich like, “hey, I have a chance to be that guy”. In reality it’s a big casino where the house has rigged it all to scam you.
Exactly!! This is bull. Trigger EVERY other person for this guy’s ego!…
JEFF BEZOS: PAY YOUR TAXES!!!!!! ALL OF US POOR PEOPLE PAID OURS!!! YOU NEED TO PAY YOURS!!!!!
0:13 lol what’s her name?
HE PAYS NO TAXES. HE ABUSES HIS WORKERS TO THE POINT OF DEATH. This isn’t a success. It’s raising himself over others via Slavery. STOP REPORTING THIS AS A VICTORY.
Thats a lie! You communist/fascist troll!
With the state of this world right now, taking trips to space is the last thing I’d be talking about.
Did she say Wally Phuck?
The cheapening of space exploration!!
Space flight is wrought with dangers, and I can’t say I will be sad when eventually one of these rockets explodes carrying a bunch of out of touch billionaires.
I wonder what trump thinking about Bezos? I guess he would’ve tweeted that he will go to Jupiter if has access Twitter account or heaven may be.. Coz most of his follower will believe even though they are still on flat earth…
To all the haters that said she was too old ….she is living her best life !
Yeah UNSUBSCRIBE!! This is BS!
I agree the expense that went into this Venture needed to go to Amazon employees and Taxes first.
I am sad to hear a Commentator downplay the message of a Women Astronaut (however brief) is to Women around the World. Women’s Lives Matter x!
I wonder if he wore a diaper like the rest of the Amazon employees since they can’t take restroom breaks!!!
You don’t need to go to “space” to experience weightlessness. That is some BS right there.
I just wanna see her full interview
Spacex with the phallic rocket that penetrated the atmosphere to enter the holyland. After finishing, it pulled back out and returned, emptied and much smaller.
Yeah, sounds about right.
Hey Wally….two big “woops” for a million dollar ride into “who gives a crap”!
So cool that Ms. Funk finally overcame misogyny. Good on Bezos for rectifying this mistake.
