It's cool and everything, sure, but I can't help thinking there are better things Jeff Bezos could spend his momey on than sending a rocket-powered phallus into space (just). Our planet is basically screwed, and here he is, jostling for bragging rights with a sorry collection of billionaires, and trying to commercialise space travel. Sigh.

Here's the Spizz Energi original. It's better, isn't it?
