Richard Branson - Monkey-faced Space Cadet

Oh, well, back to the drawing board.

Psycho-billionaire Richard Branson watched some guy get killed and a rocket blow up, but hey, why leave insane space travel dreams to America or Russia?

A SANE person would understand that there's no way space travel is going to save this planet. Does Branson think that in his fucking lifetime, of which he doesn't have long, he'll live to see even the most basic colonization of the moon?

Really, Richard, we're gonna have a little town up there with a farm or two? Or a few science labs for growing tofu or something? And a bunch of guys and gals will be happily hopping around on the desolate surface playing golf?

I don't know much about this Branson clown...sometimes he seems to do something right, sometimes he's just a bragging windbag. It does seem to me that almost NO billionaires or super-rich CEO's are doing anything worthwhile with their money or their fleet of employees. In fact with the exception of Michael Bloomberg, who took time out to become mayor of New York City, and tried to put through some gun control laws, most of them are a dumb, ugly lot of egotists. Donald Trump? Richard Branson? Many are political Hitlers, like the fucking Koch Brothers. Others are hypocrite slime, like the Google jerks or Bozo Bezos the Mussolini who runs Amazon.

One thing about guys like Branson...they do NOT want to offend radical Muslim fuck-heads. They'd rather point their noses to the moon than to the mosque on the corner, where evil swine lurk, cloaked in black. The real concern is peace and prosperity on THIS planet, not space travel.

Branson should be giving speeches decrying immigration of psycho-religious-fanatics. He should be tossing his money down into programs that are too much for government bureacracy. Like, educating and employing decent people on how to run a business. Or funding a college that pays for itself by graduating brilliant people who can make a difference in science and technology on Earth. Putting people to work building an exploding rocket is a waste of time and life.

How about building wind machines? If you can't revitalize the fishing industry, and fish-farming is going to only produce mutant inedible monsters...at least make it so that the country isn't relying on oil from Arabs.

Sadly, guys like Branson are vainglorious lunatics. They're more interested in "noble dreams," which is their escape from reality. Not content with bimbo sluts or the envy of other men, they present themselves as heroes. It's glamor-garbage. In the case of Trump, it's shiny casinos. In the case of Branson, it's shiny rocket ships to nowhere.

Maybe Richard should go take over Branson, Missouri, which I don't think is doing as well as it used to be. Make that into a model community of prosperity. After all, if you can't do it THERE, you ain't doin' it on the moon.
