In an oblique kind of way, this latest Bezos tantrum is an insult to the entire space program, and those who knew the risks but still risked - and tragically gave in mishaps no one can ever forget - their lives making it a reality. It strikes me that no matter how wealthy and enthusiastic they might be, some people are simply not cut out for space exploration, because they just don't get it.
Also.. I really don't get Jeff Bezos. The richest person on the planet at least officially is complaining about not getting tax payer money to fund his rockets that amounts to 2% of his personal wealth. Like use your own money dude, and quit complaining.
