FYI: Jeff Bezos's cousin is George Strait

[Wwcd]

I'm probably the last one to find out

[democratisphere]

2. Lots of talent in that extended family.

Bezos and Strait are both Superstars!

3. Bezos grew up near Houston, built a 10,000 yr clock in west Tx, & is creating the"New Shepard Rocket

..also in west Tx.

Awwww! He named his robot launch pad, BLU2D2.

Snip

To test the viability of manned spaceflight aboard New Shepard, Blue Origin sent a mannequin it cleverly calls Mannequin Skywalker aboard the rocket. In a new video released today, viewers can watch the dummy go to space and back over the course of the 11-minute clip. We don’t get a good sense of what the weightlessness looks like, because the mannequin is strapped into its chair. But hopefully we get a better idea of what the ride will be like during future test launches.

Bezos also shared a video on Twitter of the company’s new landing pad robot, which of course it’s calling Blue2D2:

4. Yes and even though he is hyping now where where where will Amazon goes next. I bet it is DFW

Or Houston

[Wwcd]

5. Probably. He has Amazon Distribution centers operating N of Dallas,

So a lot of signs say Tx & he has the reasons for it.
Both personal & business.

A lot of cities/states are still in the running tho.
I don't know when the decision will be made..

Maybe it will bring in a big group of new liberal voters & Tx will be a beautiful blue again.
That'd be cool.
