Perhaps when you heard that Jeff Bezos is going to space, you imagined he'd be spending a significant amount of time among the stars, viewing Earth from the heavens and coming back days later with a fresh perspective on our planet. Not quite so.

The Amazon billionaire's much-hyped launch "into space" started and safely concluded all before 10 A.M. this morning. Bezos, his brother Mark, Wally Funk, and Dutch student Oliver Daemen took Bezos' Blue Origin rocket to a height of 351,210 feet, or 66.5 miles, technically crossing the Kármán line of 62 miles that scientists decided counts as the border between Earth and space, but not so far as to go into orbit. Daemen was selected by Bezos to be on the flight after the passenger who paid $28 million at auction to be on the flight couldn't make it due to a scheduling conflict.

The entire flight can be seen below:


While this was always the plan, it still struck many as a letdown that Bezos' historic flight to space reached "space" in a technical sense.

"There’s arguably a difference between poking your head above the clouds -- and achieving 'spaceflight,'" opined Futurism.

Twitter users also felt let down but at least were very amused by the highly phallic shape of the rocket.


As always with anything Bezos-related, many users took the opportunity to take shots at Bezos for his vast wealth.


"Best day ever," said Bezos, upon returning to Earth.
