WATCH: Blue Origin launch with Jeff Bezos Onboard! -- Live

Tune in Tuesday, July 20 at 4:30 a.m. PT to watch Jeff Bezos become one of the first astronauts launched into space by Blue Origin on its New Shepard rocket.

[@garyburchett7357]

Billions of pounds were spent on the spaceship. They bought the camera and video gear from eBay for a couple of quid

[@InvaderKush]

I only know what a quid is because I game with a dude from across the pond. I feel so cultured now hahaha.

[@pkumar5411]

I agree with you, totally disappointed to invest my time to watch this rubbish quality marketing stunt without no high 4K video from inside or anything. Rocket tech is nothing new and Jeff is not the first human in space, Sir Richard Branson was the first, so I have no idea why this presenter host keep on banging about first human in space! This false statement, true statement is that Sir Richard Branson and Co were the FIRST human in space.

[@YDDES]

@@pkumar5411 Stupidiity. Branson and c:o weren’t the first humans in space. Juri Gagarin, Alan Shepard and others were before them.

[@kylewattssurfing3266]

To refer to these individuals as "Astronauts" or even "Crew" is disrespectful and an insult to "true" astronauts (those who have work hard, trained hard, circled the earth, and beyond). These individuals did nothing but go on an expensive, glorified joy ride. They are simply passengers.

@@GilezDavidson War and spaceflight are a catalyzer for normal day tech for you and me to reduce greenhouse gasses. If takes a spaceflight for the superrich to see how they need to change their ways in order to become more aligned with earth, then let them go to space. Who knows, maybe they come back as a messiah..

[@toolegit2quit173]

@@GilezDavidson if you’d actually watched the vid, you’d know that the rocket runs on liquid hydrogen and oxygen. It produces nothing but water vapour for exhaust. As for BEZOS being an elite, far from it. Rather than being born into wealth as true elites are, He had the humble beginnings of a lower middle class American family. He’s worked his way from nothing to the richest man in the world and exemplifies the American Dream. And now has made history by being the first private citizen to go to space. WTF have YOU done lately?!?
