The business magnate has a brand new title to add to his overwhelming resume - astronaut. Jeff Bezos was joined by his brother Mark Bezos and 82-year-old female aviation pioneer Wally Funk on the flight, along with last-minute flight member 18-year-old Oliver Daemen, the son of millionaire Joes Daemen. Oliver has become the youngest person to fly in space.
Bezos made history as the passengers successfully completed the world's first unpiloted suborbital flight, while being aboard a capsule and a rocket developed by the billionaire's private spaceflight company, Blue Origin.
Twitter Mocks Blue Origin's Astronaut Suit
Even during this historical moment - Twitter users have managed to find a way to troll Bezos, and are mocking his astronaut suit.
Instead of a traditional space suit which is usually worn by astronauts on missions, the businessman and his co-passengers wore fashionable, blue colored in-flight suits, which feature Bezos' company logo. The team posed before the camera to capture the memory right before they went on to make history.
Twitter users have likened the suit to the superhero version worn by Fantastic Four characters Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. They're trolling Bezos for his choice of outfit and are labeling the photo as the "worst Fantastic Four reboot" ever among other things!
"Not the cast I expected for #fantasticfour #NSFirstHumanFlight," wrote @BossLogic, giving Bezos' original photo the meme treatment.
"I feel like they've messed up the Fantastic Four reboot again," added @ryanvenndunn.
"The new fantastic four movie looks terrible…" shared @lincnotfound.
"Man these reboots of the "Fantastic Four" movie get worse every time!" joked @ItsTerrifiCon.
"If there's a space accident and Jeff Bezos comes back with Fantastic Four powers, we're all screwed…" @jhfrith added.
Some fans of the Marvel comics superheroes thought Bezos and his friends would "come back as The Fantastic Four" after their space travels, but if current news is any proof, the passengers have returned safely and are very much themselves.
An upcoming Fantastic Four movie however will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon - and with Marvel president Kevin Feige running the show, fans have nothing to worry about. The franchise is in good hands!
