July 22, 2021 by archyde – “The first penis in space” or “the Mercedes among the rockets”? The shape of the rocket with which Jeff Bezos flew into space speaks for itself: it is strongly reminiscent of a phallus. A space expert explains what’s behind it. Martin Fischer Posted today at 6:45 p.m. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos flew into space on July 20, accompanied by three other passengers, and the capsule of the New Shepard rocket hovered at an altitude of 107 kilometers for around 4 minutes. Video: Tamedia Jeff Bezos succeeded in making his second private space flight a good week after the British entrepreneur Richard Branson – and half the Internet then only talks about the design of the rocket called New Shepard.
