Today is Wednesday, July 21st, and you're listening to The Morning Announcements presented

And upon arrival back at Earth, Bezos made a point to say that he, quote, wants to thank

every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer because you guys paid for all of this.

Thanks, Jeff, you really did not need to remind us.
