Cosplaying billionaires involved in the the space race are the anti-Right Stuff.
Recreating what the real pioneers like Gagarin and Aldrin did 60 years ago, making a mockery of the so-called capitalist engine of innovation and progress.

Must be nice to have enough money to be able to play astronaut. And especially being rich enough for people around to play along as well!
