I for one think that giving credit where credit is due is an important thing.

Getting off this rock is probably the only thing that matters. Credit is irrelevant when Earth is no longer habitable and we never left.

That, and I want to see an Epic Rap Battle of History between Musk and Bezos some day. It will take a lot of competition and a lot of progress before they have enough dirt to throw at each other.

Hahaha... Thanks, that cheered me up.

Someone should totally do rap battles while pretending to be some famous figure. The possibilities are endless. Faux Bill Gates vs Faux Steve Jobs.

If you're being serious, one of the most viewed Youtube channels is "Epic Rap Battles of History" which did exactly that.

It's a bit silly, but entertaining. It doesn't get too technical, but usually gets the generic facts right.

Best Christmas ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N_RO-jL-90 was hilarious.

Yeah, don't follow that link pnt12 posted until you have a whole afternoon to kill.

People who compete want to get recognition for their accomplishments. "Getting off this rock" has so far been led closer to becoming true by cold hard competition. So sorry bud, people will always want credit for their success whether you like it or not. And hey, who said we won't get off this rock during the process of all that?

I agree the tribalism is not helpful on either side, but Blue origins is nowhere near getting off this rock, or even into orbit around it.
