Just can't figure out why they let Steven Colbert be part of the broadcast, The guy is such an asshole

Agreed, and it's unfortunate, but Branson is likely a flaming liberal, so Colbert fits.

Reminds me of the old X-15 launches to the edge of space

 

[Manonthestreet]

Virgin is underwhelming.

Meh.

Far more impressed with Felix Baumgartner skydiving out of a balloon from 24 miles high

About the only glitch during the jump was a problem with the faceplate heater in Baumgartner's helmet, which the skydiver and his Mission Control team worked on during the hours-long ascent. They ultimately decided to proceed with the jump despite the heater glitch, and later Baumgartner reported the heater was working.

While in freefall, Baumgartner went into a harrowing spin briefly, but was able to recover and go into a controlled descent. He said his visor was fogging up during the dramatic descent. After the daredevil fell toward Earth for more than four minutes, his parachute deployed and applause erupted from his Mission Control.

Baumgartner landed about 37 miles away from his launch point in New Mexico, project officials said. His capsule touchdown a further 55 miles east of the landing site, they added.

Wow. The left whines and cries about economic inequality while billionaires are traveling into space. . .

. . . and the lefty media celebrates this. How the hell do they contain their hypocrisy on the propaganda messaging?

OH!!! I know. . . don't teach critical thinking in government SCHOOLS!

yeah, it's almost as if your fantasies about control over the media are just stupid fantasies.

Bezos's turn is next week.
