It was just a frivolous joyride.

With skittles!

In all fairness tho, what would be your go-to snack on a not-space ride?

Let's review and analyze the quoted post.

A. In the past two weeks Branson & Bezos accomplished...... Seeing a "dream" of their's gain fruition, flew in to space in crafts they helped fund and develop, and probably helped people (and the world) in many ways - both financially and through their companies.

In the past two weeks Plano accomplished...... Selling a boat or two or three? Maybe.
Buying a new Jeep? Probably not. Being a/an ______ (fill in the blank with a derogatory word) multiple times on a message board? Absolutely! Let's give him credit where credit is due.

But hey, let's all be like Plano (and some others on here) and ridicule Bezos and Branson - and then we should celebrate and praise Plano's accomplishment/s. Mmkay?


B. Unless I am mistaken, it seems Plano thinks 53.5 miles (Branson's flight) and 66.5 miles (Bezos' flight) is "roughly the same altitude" as 24.2 or 25.7 miles (not sure which was the "Red Bull guy's" jump). Ummm, no?
Seems that's almost like trying to say my 5 foot tall 11 year old nephew is "roughly the same" height as Tacko Fall and "roughly the same" age as him too.

JFC, you really are a twat.

I guess I was impressed that one guy arrived via a weather balloon, while 2 others cruised through in basically a modified air plane/rocket.

Plus, 1 of the 3 stepped out and free-falled back to freaking earth.

I was wowed when Robbie Maddison jumped onto AND back off the Arc de Triomphe in Vegas. You would apparently be more impressed by someone who took the elevator to the penthouse at Planet Hollywood.

As for my day, I accomplished a lot today. Telling you why would only feed your obsession with trying to build a false narrative of who I am.

COOL!
I'm all good with what impresses you, wows you, and what you accomplished today.
I have little to no interest in trying to build a false narrative of who you are. I'm confident I have a pretty good idea. You're generally a nice/good guy who has his shit together but lets this place turn you in to kind of a dick - at times. Amiright?
Anyways, enjoy the rest of your evening! May the NBA team you want to win tonight - win.
