Blue Origin, the rocket company created by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, launched its New Shepard spaceship on Wednesday, hurtling the company forward in an attempt to put paying customers into space in the not-so-distant future.
Perhaps more importanty, however, the new rocket looks exactly like a penis.
Which isn't to say that every rocket isn't at least mildly phallic. That's the whole point of rockets. But this one is an evolution in the "rockets that look like penises" field.
Aerospace fans and normals alike noticed the overtness of New Shepard's build when footage of the flight was released.
Congratulations, Jeff Bezos, you've officially made the most penis-y rocket ship ever. http://t.co/NsMUU9Fp6f— Kelly Morgan (@Punkrock666) April 30, 2015
Three questions for @blueorigin 1. Why the secrecy? 2. Why the spin? (93km isn't a "journey into space") 3. Why the penis shaped rocket?— Trent Waddington (@QuantumG) April 30, 2015
There will be so many penis jokes about that rocket #BlueOrigin— Gibran Abreu (@XGibran) April 30, 2015
Eventually, Bezos hopes the Blue Origin will take the penis rocket into space with up to six passengers. The future is now.
