«Go where peppers grow!»It was said when you urgently wanted away from an annoying or unattractive contemporary. This was the time when the boat trip to the pepper countries of India or Indonesia was the longest possible voyage. Then came the expression at the end of the sixties «Let’s shoot him at the moonssin a!» NS. Which brings us to the topic.
Currently, the Rockefellers of our time, Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos, are engaged in a tragic contest: not about who will shoot each other, but who will be the first to shoot yourself into space. You really can’t have anything against that, but the problem is: they both come back ten minutes later to continue working here on Earth to make sure that in the not-too-distant future this planet collapses and becomes uninhabitable for humans.
