Jeff Bezos and crew drive in Rivian EV to launch pad

See the Blue Origin crew members board a Rivian EV and begin their trip to the launch pad.

[@jake78441]

that was hella sick to see rivian!

[@Canoneosmiami]

That SUV looks much better then Tesla ..

[@solidgold899]

It should they copied everything Tesla did went out of their way to break confidentiality agreements and hire teslas best engineers but nice try

[@Prodigious1One]

Very cool to see a Rivian in action!

[@AlejandroGarcia-xq1mt]

The competition of Tesla lol

[@RCSVirginia]

One should admire the clever, little dig at Elon Musk here. This was a little sharper than I would have expected from Jeff Bezos.

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

Where is the "clever, little dig"? I can't see it

[@dylanh4657]

@@PeacefulCountryLife You must be blind then. The dig is having Tesla rival Rivian as the official vehicles transporting Bezos. They were also used in the launch that Shatter was in yesterday.

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

Wow, Bezos-the brother and the other Bezos rushing ahead to get in the car... while Wally gets left behind... what a bunch of wankers...

[@nuvi5480]

If you don't reach orbit, can you really call yourself an astronaut?

[@Beltfedshooters]

They reached the point of no atmosphere which makes that space. They are sub-orbital astronauts.

[@joeycathcart]

Just because they aren’t orbiting doesn’t mean they’re not in space. It just means they’re not going fast enough horizontally in space to stay in space.

[@ahmedahm1]

0:15 There she is ! The RIVIAN R1S .... Next time please bring the R1T (Pickup truck)

[@ajayvemuri7391]

Can they be called astronauts just for venturing in the space for 4 to 5 mins?

[@Prodigious1One]

Yes, lol.

[@_NightOwl]

No at least not according to the faa.

[@odisy64]

@@Prodigious1One nope, you need to do more than sit in a spacecraft for a few minutes to be an astronaut, the SpaceX actually had astronaut training.

[@GregStew]

Did anyone notice that the trunk seems to open only with the right biometrics?

[@fabioferreiragomes]

_INCRÍVEL..,..ESPETACULAR....

[@EPICSLIDESHOWSANDVIDEOS]

I do believe that Blue Origin is a delivery driver of outer space. Super fast if use to deliver toilet papers to space station.

[@masala8908971]

Elon going to space with spacex and cybertruck.. Epic!!!

[@edyann]

Pretty cool but only 3 minutes? They should stay there for at least a week!

[@ArkSriva]

Yea should take a complete orbit around then down

[@kalletaimi5094]

That capsule can't go to orbit, it is only suborbital. It is only capable to stay in space for few minutes

[@ArkSriva]

@@kalletaimi5094 very expensive space ride for future Piers

[@JH-it3vd]

When Blue Origin lost those Nasa contracts to SpaceX, I'm glad Bezos used this chance...

[@rommelreyes7480]

🐈 copy?

[@cornholio777]

He is trying so hard to be like Elon lol

[@_NightOwl]

Here's elons competition. Blue origin and Rivian. I think elon has them beat he is the better super villian.

[@PTW_Invests]

The entry and exit of the astronauts into the Model X was much cleaner! • Bezos and the crew should have just rolled in a Ford Bronco.

[@rickycoughlin7510]

Like a clown show getting in to the car I would have thought it would have been more show like nasa they got a bus and these guys am got a better version of Ford bronco this is what Fords bronco should have looked like

[@mrpmj00]

..,Tesla Model X and Y look like an egg on wheels. .Unlike Tesla, Rivian's customers can get the $7500 federal tax credit. .Tesla is a sinking ship. Tesla is now selling to rental car companies like Hertz which is the worst place to be because that is the LOWEST margin. And people don't want to buy cars that are part of rental fleets. Tesla second to last in Consumer Reports reliability study.

[@radius8283]

Whatever that SUV is it’s ugly.

[@brunorocha7461]

I think its because the color. In white would be much better

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

It is made for the american market, that is why it is ugly
