Parachuting from 127,000 feet is borderline crazy but heroic in the sense of pioneering something. It would be nice if Bezos invested his fortune in things valuable to humanity like reversing blindness and aging or repairing spinal cord injuries instead of joyrides for billionaires.

Maybe he does invest in human values and this rocket stuff (replication of something pioneered 75 years ago) is just a pocket change hobby to him

Your post reminded me of Felix Baumgartner who rode a balloon upwards of 25 miles, then jumped. It took him over 4 minutes to descend, and he broke the sound barrier on the way down. That was definitely the most incredible feat I've ever seen in my lifetime.
