Nice! He does appear to have gone to extra effort to give it a nice bellend.
I mean pretty much all rockets are phallic, aren't they?

But would you take a ride on that thing? Given that neither he nor his brother have terminal illness as far as I know what possesses then to take a seat up there?

It would be slightly ironic if it blew up on launch.....

as far back as 2016, someone tweeted: "Woot! Successful launch of Bezos' space penis - Blue Origin New Shepherd rocket! They were able 2 successfully deploy 'just the tip'."

Of course. More to the point why wouldn't you? Are you expecting to single handedly cure cancer or something?

It would probably need two hands to be fair.

That's only to get ready for re-entry.

There's probably an ejection system in case of emergencies.

Back in the eighties the Sun headline:

'"My Tory toffs were oh so sweet", says marshmallow strip queen, Vashanti'

I contemporaneously got to hear about the precipitating antics from the girlfriend (present at the event) of a Tory Toff. The takeaway was something about rich, amoral, entitled types having an indestructible relationship with doing something naughty, getting caught and then denying everything until the next fast-moving scandal comes along to draw the spotlight; a fine tradition I think many of us recognise in our glorious government.

I am fond of "Jobless blow for Jim", at a time when Jim Callahan was MP and the unemployment figures were disappointing.

Not a headline but definitely my favourite article.

I took this photo of an article in the local rag at Whistler.
