JEFF BEZOS: LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE

Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos looked mighty happy here as he and his cute girlfriend Lauren Sanchez left NY restaurant Cipriani after lunch. His space trip with William Shatner was a huge success and cheered him up after unpleasant communications from his space rival Elon Musk. (Is the race to space all about machismo?) NASA awarded a 2.9 billion dollar contract to Musk, and via Twitter, he sent Bezos a silver “2nd place” emoji. Bezos promptly sued NASA, insisting the contract was unfairly awarded to Musk. We think William Shatner made a very important observation – that outer space is utter blackness and when he looked down at earth it was bright and beautiful. Let’s appreciate and take care of what we have…

NOW THAT HE’S SINGLE, ASHTON KUTCHER IS PLANNING A SPACE FLIGHT



About to be single Ashton Kutcher is doing all the things a wife might frown upon – most recently he signed up to become a space traveler. British billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic company has been taking reservations for their first space flights and Ashton is the 500th customer to book a flight. The spaceport is located in New Mexico. Branson’s space ships are in the final stages of testing and he and his family will be on the first flight. The trip costs $200,000 and passengers are taken to the boundary of the earth’s atmosphere where they will be weightless for six minutes. The whole ride lasts around three and a half hours but requires three days of pre-flight training. Exciting, if you can afford it.
