I very much agree that things like space travel are what push our boundaries as a species.
But for these three guys? Of course it's about vanity. Brandon and Bezos even got into this stupid little race to be first and the bitch fest about where exactly space is. And I'm sure y'all saw that photo where Bezos is posing with his aviators and flight suit like he's Maverick from Top Gun
It's hilarious. Literally a dick measuring contest with dick shaped rockets
