22 of the funniest memes and jokes about Jeff Bezos’s brief trip to space

Jeff Bezos made history on Tuesday after the Amazon founder made a very brief trip to space on board his Blue Origin spaceship.

Bezos, along with three others, spent around 11 minutes in the New Shepard rocket which reached the edge of space before returning to Earth.

It’s just another chapter in the space race between billionaires who have been criticised for seeming more focused on sending into space than using their money to fix problems here on Earth.

As you can imagine, Bezos’s position as the founder of Amazon, perhaps one of the most controversial brands on the planet, meant that his little jaunt into the stars above was rife for memes and jokes.

If you’ve seen Bezos’s Blue Origin ship then you’ll be well aware that it resembles well... err... the male appendage (this is reportedly quite common for suborbital commercial space programs). We’re sure this was unintentional from Bezos and his team but that didn’t stop a downpour of very NFSW jokes flooding onto Twitter.

Others were just unimpressed by how short the flight was.

Well, there you go then Mr Bezos. You managed to reach space and also spawn dozens of very crude memes in the same day. Quite an effort there from the billionaire.
