Almost 165,000 people want him to stay there

And stay there!

Nearly 165,000 people want Amazon billionaire founder Jeff Bezos to stay in space after it launches into orbit on Tuesday.

At around 9 a.m. on Tuesday, when the founder of Amazon exploded into space, more than 164,000 people signed a petition on Change.org titled “Don’t allow Jeff Bezos to come back to Earth.”

“Billionaires shouldn’t exist … on earth or in space, but if they decide the latter, they should stay there,” the petition said.

Bezos, the richest person in the world, was due to fly into space on Tuesday on the first commercial flight of his company Blue Origin.

The call for joke to prevent Bezos from returning to Earth comes after a separate petition with the same stated goal garnered hundreds of thousands of signatures.

As of June 21, more than 20,000 people had signed another petition, similarly titled “Petition not to allow Jeff Bezos to return to Earth.”
