The Space Race is back! This time, rich people are spending their own money on the ships. Recently, billionaire Richard Branson flew in a plane that briefly escaped the Earth’s atmosphere.
Immediately, the jokes poured in:
Consequently, Twitter erupted with funny takes on the news story. In short, people don’t think billionaires should be spending money to go to space while everyone on Earth still suffers.
