Please don't call it a ride. That is not a frigging ride. Whenever a man goes up, you have never said to an astronaut, boy, what a ride. You know, we duplicated the same trajectory that Alan Shepard did back in the day, pretty much. No one called that a ride. It was called a flight. It was called a journey. Because a ride implies that it's something frivolous or something that's lighthearted.

Have you been? Have you been? If you've been and you still feel that way after you come back, please let's have a conversation.

I don't like that people are calling it a ride. A ride, you know, you never see a man, a male astronaut who's going up in space and they said, oh, he took a ride. We actually duplicated the route that Alan Shepard did. That's why this particular capsule is called the New Shepard. We duplicated that route. No one said he took that ride. It's always referred to as a flight or a journey.

So I feel that that's a little disrespectful to what the mission was and what the work that Blue Origin does. We use space technology all the time, whether it's your GPS, whether it's your satellite. That doesn't just happen. Every time a flight goes up, they get some type of information.

Two of the astronauts, I still have a hard time calling myself an astronaut, but two of the astronauts... Because you're not! Because you went on a fucking ride!

Two of the astronauts, I still have a hard time calling myself an astronaut, but two of the astronauts on board, one is a rocket scientist, one is an astrophysicist activist, were actually doing experiments.
