a few very rich people have recently been able to see earth from near space… and they’re the meanest assholes humanity have ever encountered.
While I agree that they are terrible people, they aren’t even close to humanity’s meanest.
Reminds me of Brian Regan ‘walking on the moon’
The overview effect
“If everyone could see it”
Proceeds to show an alternate future where having seen it is apparently a status symbol, which implies that not everyone is able to see it

Well, he’s right, if she had seen the view from space he wouldn’t have dissed her so the world would have been a nicer place >:)
Haha, reminds me of this classic
