The world’s richest man had a very good time in space Tuesday morning, while the rest of us perhaps worried about raging wildfires, the Delta COVID variant, extreme inequality, or just like, going to work or paying our bills. 

Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos wore a cowboy hat, rang a bell, and had “the best day ever” as he flew to space in his penis-shaped rocket called New Shepard. With him was a crew that included his brother, the 18-year-old son of a billionaire who paid nearly $30 million for his seat but then canceled because of a scheduling conflict, and Wally Funk, an 82-year-old test pilot who trained as an astronaut in the 1960s but never got to go to space.
