Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos flew to the edge of space on Tuesday on a craft built by his private space company, Blue Origin. It was a bombastic inauguration of Bezos' entry into the emerging space tourism industry (one seat on New Shepard went for $28 million), and Bezos himself was giddy. In comments after he touched down, he aired visions of moving all heavy industry into space and thanked Amazon's more than one million employees and millions more customers for paying for his trip. Really. 

"I want to thank every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer, because you guys paid for all of this," the grateful billionaire, who said the trip to space was his "best day ever," said to laughter from the audience. "Seriously, for every Amazon customer out there, and every Amazon employee, thank you from the bottom of my heart very much. It's very appreciated."
