52 years ago today very brave @NASA scientists landed on the moon.They were doing what was best for America. The last 2 weeks was the battle of the billionaires getting to space. Times have changed. @BillKristol @jimsciutto @milesobrien @wolfblitzer

I’m rooting for the billionaire class to compete to make earth a better place. Personal issues notwithstanding, Bill Gates is the likely front runner in that race…

And bezos's comment about taking factories into space so as to not pollute earth's atmosphere was further proof of his selfishness.

I’m disgusted that these two men have so much money to fly them to edge of space, yet we have children dying of hunger, and Mother Earth is literally burning! #TaxTheRich
