'DUMBEST LOOKING THING EVER':JEFF BEZOS TROLLED FOR WEARING COWBOY HAT TO SPACE

  • 20/07/2021

Jeff  Bezos and his crew, which included both the youngest and the oldest person to go to space, rose more than 60 miles into the sky above West Texas. The rocket and capsule, named New Shepard after Alan Shepard, the first American in space, rose from the company's launch site in Van Horn shortly before 9.15 am.The capsule detached from the rocket at an altitude of about 47 miles. Both pieces continued to coast upward, passing the 62-mile boundary. Bezos and the passengers - his brother Mark Bezos, former pilot and flight instructor Mary Wallace Funk, and an 18-year-old from the Netherlands called Oliver Daemen - unbuckled and floated around the capsule, cheering in the capsule as they experienced about four minutes of free fall. "You have a very happy crew up here, I want you to know," Bezos said as the capsule descended.

The booster landed vertically. The capsule then descended until it set down gently. The whole thing lasted about 11 minutes. The four passengers exited the capsule just after 9.30 am. As Bezos exited the capsule, he once again appeared in his cowboy hat. And in a scene reminiscent of a Hollywood action film, Bezos, wearing the hat, high-fived a staff member at the landing site. 

Netizens, of course, had their own not-so-nice views about this hat. "Never would've pegged Jeff Bezos as a cowboy hat guy but it really does make his employee culture make more sense," said a Twitter user. Another Twitter user wrote, "Jeff Bezos in a cowboy hat is the dumbest looking thing ever." One person tweeted, "Nobody looks weirder in a cowboy hat than Jeff Bezos." One Twitter user also said, "The first thing aliens have seen is Jeff Bezos wearing a cowboy hat.
