More than 185,000 people have signed petitions calling to stop Jeff Bezos from returning to Earth after he blasts into space on Tuesday.
Bezos, the founder of the space-exploration firm Blue Origin, said on June 7 that he and his brother, Mark Bezos, would fly into space aboard the company's New Shepard rocket on July 20 in its first flight carrying people.
Three days after Bezos' announcement, two petitions launched to try to prevent the billionaire's reentry to Earth.
More than 163,000 people have signed a Change.org petition titled "Do not allow Jeff Bezos to return to Earth."
"Billionaires should not exist ... on earth, or in space, but should they decide the latter they should stay there," the petition's description said.

I think that he went up there just so that he could enjoy Ben And Jerry's w/o anyone bothering him.
