Don't hold back now. :)

While I don't share your level of passion against Jeff Bezos and his companies I have been interested to read of the more recent reports surfacing concerning employee concerns about the safety of the New Shepard and those reports of sexism - both not good, not good at all.

If I were Bill Shatner I'd give pause to the idea of flying to space in that hardware in the short term until things become more apparent.

I agree the rocket looks like a giant penis, which probably does not help marketing folk one little bit.

I also laughed at a SpaceX graphic they put up when they recently ran that Inspiration mission. It showed the respective distances from Earth of the various space endeavors. New Shepard was by far the least 'far off' the surface of the planet. The graphic made quite a statement.
