So 400,000 kg of liquefied natural gas (methane), along with 1.6 million kg of liquid oxygen oxidizer just went up in a fireball. The gas alone is the equivalent to 9000 full sedan sized gas tanks. Way to rub it in billionaires.

    If they had to face oppression like paying taxes they'd go bankrupt of course. If would stifle the economy. They would move to Europe.

    In other reactions, "Oh no, what if Mr. Bezos were on board? That would just be soooooo awful..."
