Actually, anytime is a good time to slag Jeff Bezos.

I have to admit his little rocket is cute and it performs well... it just doesn't reach orbit. And for all those newscasters who snickered over it's phallic shape, where have you guys been the past few years? He's been launching that puppy for a while now. It maybe penis shaped but it doesn't... reach altitude.

Now Jeffy's having a tantrum because NASA - with it's limited budget - picked SpaceX over Blue Origin to go to the moon. He's sending his lawyers to do battle with the organization he wants to suck money... er, work with to send people back to the moon.

Honey, you don't need the money. You just bought a yacht to ferry your skinny butt to your super yacht. If you wanted the moon so badly you should have bought more rocket things and fewer boats. I mean, why else would you have employees so busy they're pissing into bottles if you weren't serious about this rocket stuff?

For all of Elon Musk's goofiness (Boring Company? Hyperloop? Starship to Earth? Come on.) his rockets *fly to orbit*. He delivers *tons* to orbit. He's deliver *people* to the ISS. With limited bucks why would NASA bet on someone who *can't deliver* - no matter how cute your er... rocket is.

You want the moon so badly? Sell your yachts, fire your lawyers, tighten your belt and go build rockets. No bucks, no Buck Rogers. Elon was willing to go broke for it. Are you?
