WASHINGTON June 21, 2021: People are demanding that Amazon chief Jeff Bezos be stopped from returning to Earth after he goes into space.
BaaghiTV: According to the report of Business Insider, the space journey of the Amazon chief is going to take place at a time when the enthusiasm and interest regarding space flight is being seen more than ever before. Bezos, the founder of the space exploration firm Blue Origin, said on June 7 that he and his brother Mark Bezos would fly into space on July 20 aboard the New Shepard rocket. This is the company’s first human flight.
Three days after Bezos’s announcement, two petitions were filed seeking and preventing billionaires from re-entering the country. He gathered thousands of followers in just 10 days. More than 23,000 people have signed a petition entitled: “Jeff Bezos is not allowed to return to Earth.” More than 41,000 people have signed an online petition to stop Jeff Bezos from re-entering Earth after the start of scheduled spaceflight on July 20 next month. The number of signatories is growing.
Amazon Prime employees say women get some advancement and that this includes aggressive management of male governance.
“Billionaire’s should not exist…on earth, or in space, but should they decide the latter they should stay there,” the petition’s description said.
Some signatories gave a reason for signing the petition, which included comments such as “being let back into Earth is a privilege not a right,” and “Earth don’t want people like Jeff, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and other such billionaires.”
Another petition called “Petition To Not Allow Jeff Bezos Re-Entry To Earth,” has accumulated more than 18,000 signatures and is quickly gaining traction. Jose Ortiz, who set up the petition, said in the description that Bezos is “an evil overlord hellbent on global domination.”
“The fate of humanity is in your hands,” Ortiz also wrote.
Both petitions are aiming to get 25,000 signatures, making them two of the top signed petitions on Change.org, according to the website.
Bezos will take an 11 minute flight to the edge of space alongside his brother and the winner of the blue origin auction for a seat in the New Shepard spacecraft, which sold for $28 million. They’ll be strapped into a dome-shaped capsule, which sits on top of the rocket booster.
Once New Shepard reaches the Kármán line — an imaginary boundary 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface — the capsule will separate from the booster, reenter the atmosphere, and float back down to Earth with the help of parachutes. “I want to go on this flight because it’s a thing I wanted to do all my life. It’s an adventure — it’s a big deal for me,” Bezos said in a video posted on instagram on June 7.
