BILLIONAIRE SPACE COWBOY WITH B.O. AND A CHUBBY ROCKET COULD BE FIREFLY SAVIOR !!!!

Amazon.com Founder Jeff Bezos , operating quietly under the guise of another endeavor , his BLUE ORIGIN aerospace company, has launched his rocket !

< http://news.com.com/Bezos+unleashes+space+rocket+prototype/2100-11397_

MISSION STATEMENT from the Official BLUE ORIGIN website :

" We’re working, patiently and step-by-step, to lower the cost of spaceflight so that many people can afford to go and so that we humans can better continue exploring the solar system. Accomplishing this mission will take a long time, and we’re working on it methodically. We believe in incremental improvement and in keeping investments at a pace that's sustainable. Slow and steady is the way to achieve results, and we do not kid ourselves into thinking this will get easier as we go along. Smaller, more frequent steps drive a faster rate of learning, help us maintain focus, and give each of us an opportunity to see our latest work fly sooner. "

Browncoats from all around the 'Verse were enthralled to further discover that Mr. Bezos holds with the Browncoat Philosophy : " We've Done The Impossible , And That Makes Us MIGHTY " .

Mr. Bezos BLUE ORIGIN website features a Logo that includes a Map O' the 'Verse , Earth-That-Was , and two Mighty Turtles , with the Latin phrase , " GRADATIM FEROCITER " , which translated roughly means :

" Measured Ferocity " , another obvious reference to Browncoat Fandom !

Although at press time Mr. Bezos had not yet been reached by members of the Browncoat Signal Corps for further comment , Browncoats are still hopeful and expectant of further Revelations from the " Chuck Wagon Tent " at the Corn Ranch ; yet another veiled reference to the neo-classic Sci-Fi Western Cult Series , The Best Gorram TV Show That Ever Was , Joss Whedon's " Firefly " .

Stay tuned , Folk ...

I note that the rocket is called "New Shepard", will the next in the series be called "New Wash" ?

Not sure on that count . But keep in mind that Browncoats have sent Mr. Bezos an immense amount of Shiny Coin via his Amazon Operations .

An Agent with the 411th Browncoat Intelligence Corps , identified only by his code name ,
" Deep Throttle " , was on hand to witness the Launch . He reports that during the ensuing festivities following the liftoff and successful flight , someone was overheard to ask a question of Mr. Bezos .

Our Agent recounts that the curious onlooker inquired ,

" Mr. Bezos , I was looking at the Coat of Arms of your Blue Origin company , and am curious about some of the symbology contained therein . Most of it I've been able to figure out , but one item still puzzles me . At the bottom of the shield , there appears to be a bejeweled crown with silver wings . I'm wondering about the significance of that ."

Mr. Bezos replied , " I want to be the King of all Londinium , and wear a Shiny Hat ! "

The visitor seemed to remain puzzled , but a shout of " Huzzah " went up from among some assembled engineers , and then they shouted ,

" To Londinium , and Beyond ! "
