Recommended Posts

One thing you can say about Bezos,  the multi-billionaire owner of Amazon, the guy does think big.

Maybe we could have one planet for Republicans and one for Democrats...

Instead of buying their own island, the super rich could now buy their own planet.

Is this a new screenplay idea you're fleshing out?

Maybe, how's this for a possible title: "Venus Knights".

How about this: Vegas Flights. In the year 2050, in the last gasps of habitation on Earth, new planet assignments are broken down along class lines. Our scrappy orphan hero, Brayden "Chips" Higgins, dreams of winning an annual poker tounrament held by an unscrupulous casino/space travel tycoon, which grants upper-class citizenship on Planet Zazbonax to its lucky winner. But all is not as it seems, and matters are complicated when Chips finds love in the least likely of places...sitting across the table.

Ah, but this is all but a dream if someone like Elizabeth Warren gets elected and there is a wealth tax for billionaires like Adelson and Bezos.  Then there might not be enough money for planet exploration by private individuals because much of their billions will now be going to things like health care and better housing for the poor and homeless. Yes,  upper class citizenship on Planet Zazbonax would have to wait for a future time when a future Donald Trump-type screws it once again to the little guy.

If we are going to go to space someday it will be important for us to learn how to go to the bathroom in space.  Here is a video that helps explain the procedure.
