Recently, the famous actor Tom Hanks participated in a talk show, on which he revealed that the world's richest man, Jeff Bezos, had invited him to travel in space on a Blue Origin rocket, but he refused on the grounds that it was too expensive. Hanks said that traveling in space for 12 minutes would cost $28 million (about 179 million yuan), which is not worth the sky-high fee.
Tom Hanks is a Hollywood film and television superstar who has starred in several classic films, was named the Academy Award for Best Actor for two consecutive years, and won the Golden Globe Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2019. The works that Chinese audiences are more familiar with should be "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Private Ryan".
Although Hanks is 65 years old and successful this year, he has not retired to enjoy life but is still active in the film industry, last year he starred in the "Greyhound" has achieved a good reputation, and just today, on November 5, the science fiction movie he starred in was officially launched on Apple TV+.
In response to this news, netizens praised Tom Hanks for his "clear brain", and said that Bezos "did not fool him", and some people said that it was still "important to live". There are also people who open their minds and say, "Maybe it is a fake space, and the inside and outside of the fake spacecraft are simulations."
Some people also mentioned that Musk's spacex company only has $750,000 in 12 minutes, in comparison, Bezos's price is too expensive, why not grab money, is the rich people's tax is not enough.
Bezos and Musk are both the world's richest people. Bezos is the founder of Amazon, and Elon Musk is at the helm of SpaceX and Tesla. The two often take turns to be the world's richest man, but because Bezos also has his own space exploration company Blue Origin, the two are incompatible and often choke each other.
What do you think of Bezos's sky-high space tourism? And have you guys gone to see Hanks' new films?
