It really irks me that this huge camera and photography/videography database is going to be completely destroyed without any thought to archival value. For a man who made his fortune selling books online, you would think that he would actually understand the importance of preserving such a vast library of knowledge.

Bezos was never interested in books as valuable troves of information. They were merely a largely untapped means to an end: amassing money. When he used the Amazon platform to sell other things as well, it eventually achieved his goal in spectacular fashion. Now he can indulge his every fantasy, including making space ships in a shape that I can only assume relieves some feeling of personal inadequacy on his part. I mean, there are lots of possible shapes that are aerodynamic but somehow Blue Origin came up with that one.
