Clearly, Joan Collins, Prince William and others just don't get it.
Kudos to Shatner for venturing out into space when the opportunity
presented itself.

Yes. Good for him. Truth is, I wouldn't have expected Mr. Shatner to
do any different. Of course he'd go, given the chance.

Over the years, the space industry has lead to lots of advancements in
technology, medcine, etc. that the general public take for granted, and
there will no doubt be more in the future ... but sending the general
public into space, or "space", for a joyride *is* simply a massive
waste of money (even if it is their own) that could be better used
elsewhere.

I bet there things you do with your own money that I would consider to be
better spent elsewhere.

How Bezos spends his money is no more your business than how you spend
yours is mine.

Yep. She's only 88 ... Betty White will be 100 in a few months and is
still working!

Wouldn't you? I'd probably take as long to say yes as Shat did -
about 0.5 seconds

Not to mention that by network advertising standards it was probably a
relatively inexpensive advertisement for Bezos and Amazon.

Yeah, I'd go. No hesitation. If they need an old dude with a bad left
foot to go to space, I'm your guy. Dibs on the window seat.

Do these people *really* want to discuss how well they are "taking care
of this planey"?
