Amazon: We Have a Problem!

Jeff Bezos has reportedly been dreaming of going into space, since he was 5 years old (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/jun/07/jeff-bezos-to-go-into-space-on-first-crewed-flight-of-new-shepard-rocket). The CEO of Amazon (the supplier of online orders not the 'lungs of the planet') used part of his considerable wealth to set up the 'Blue Origins' rocket ship programme. He, along with other rich folk (namely Elon Musk and Richard Branson) all want to enable 'space tourism'. Now, comes the news that Bezos, his brother and a mega rich A.N. Other, will be on the first crewed flight in July. Space tourism shouldn't even be contemplated, as the planet tries to limit 'greenhouse gas' emissions, in an attempt to control climate change. Stopping this nonsense by the mega-rich, might cause temper tantrums but I really don't care!
