Is it just me or do others also suspect that what these billionaires are trying to do in space is really an attempt tp cpmprnsate for what they can't do in the bedroom? Everyone that buys anything from Amazon or Tesla should realize that their purchases are subsidizing a billionaire's sexual fantasy.
