Humans: It's so small... (sadness)

Billionaires: It's so small... Maybe I can own it?

Billionaires: It's so small, I have to go to mars so I can own that too.

And Bezos wept, for there was only one small Earth to conquer.

If the profound positive impact on Amazon policy-making by Bezos after his trip is an indicator, then yes.

What impact? Did I miss something?

I sense sarcasm.

Do you mind explaining what kind of policy making you are referring too? It's proving difficult to search for.

I assume it’s sarcasm, but personally I’m a bit disappointed he hasn’t gone complete Lex Luthor yet. If we’re going to have billionaires in space we might as well get an origin story out of it.

He basically went up an untethered elevator and saw a very limited view of Earth. He did not orbit Earth and did not see or experience the same things as the others.

Wasn't he in the same ship as Shatner?

Thank you for pointing that out. I still feel like it's not the same thing that people who orbit experience. Of course some people think differently, and I'm sure Bezos and Shatner think very differently. Of course who I am to speak; the highest I've been is in an airliner (so far).

He stepped down as CEO last February and went to space last July.

...and stay there.
