In the cases of Branson and Bezos, I think assholenaut works, though it will likely get *'d.
So maybe we should call them asterisknauts.

If these Richie Rich dorks are going to earn astronaut status, their next mission should be searching for live organisms on the sun.
I sat on Mario Andretti's golf cart once, but it's doubtful I am classified as an Indy champ.

Probably, but we all know they’re just rich “space tourists”.

Honestly until this post I had no idea that those folks had gone and done anything.

Pay attention next Tuesday when Bezos makes his attempt.

just proves the old saying, if you got enough money............

I could sure find better things to do with that much money! And it would not involve possible life threatening situations.

A passenger on Bezo's flight ran into a scheduling conflict, so he gave up his $28M dollar ticket to a 19 yr. old.
No idea if the 19 yr. old is related in any way. I'm thinking the original purchaser got a case of cold feet.
28 million? Dayum

The kid is 18 yo and the son of the original billionaire

He is a monkey on the flight..........his dad's scheduling conflict was probably a deft way of backing out.

I don't care what you call 'em, every damn one of 'em has more guts than me if they'll crawl into that tin can and push the limits like they did. I applaud all of them, Bezo's, Branson, and Musk for pushing the envelope of knowledge and engineering. These are the guys that will eventually get us off Earth and into the solar system. The possibilities are mind boggling.

A fitting design for Bezos, IMO.
