You mean Mad Mike Hughes. Actually if the Earth was round his rocket would have flown around the Earth. Since it crashed into the Earth it proves it's flat. His death was not in vain!

True. That difference is in the '60s we actually went to the Moon. Since then we've used those massive rockets to go into low Earth orbit. You're right; we need a new technology to get to space other than the extremely inefficient rockets. I think Virgin Galactic is a small 1st step because it uses planes to fly it to a certain point, then it fires its rocket; i.e. much less fuel than starting from the ground.
Blue Origin launches like the Space Shuttle did. Same with Space X. The good thing is they're all reusable, but the fuel isn't. They need to come up with renewable fuel or else a whole new concept.

However unmanned space flight is a whole different story. We've made incredible advances with those including leaving the solar system.

I have wondered why were can fly or float to the upper limits of Earth then fire the rockets, so the Virgin craft was like that which was interesting.
The fuels are typically volatile gases I think like pure oxygen or hydrogen. I am not sure how they get those but I'm sure it's quite a process.
It's crazy when you think about it.
Gases—-combined—-are water—-but if you break them apart—you can't see them—-but if you light them on fire….they could blow something into space…..WHAT!!!????

What Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson have been doing when it comes to going to Space has been Amazing.
I am glad that Branson was able to be in Space and I definitely hope that Bezos makes it there as well.

I don't hate it or them.
However, I wish we were doing something useful.
They are doing stuff done in the 60s.
Meanwhile, NASA literally says they lost the plans to the moon rockets, lol.
It's a ****show.

I hope he doesn’t return. I hope his ship explodes as soon as it launches.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.

I don't wish death on him but if he dies, he dies!
I don't give a **** since I dunno him.
Rich ****er.
At least he died doing something he loved.

Instead of gazing into space, something so few have done before, they spent the few minutes they had playing a game. Guess Jeff didn't do all that for philosophical contemplation; guess he's just an airhead at heart.
Mean people suck.
