Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was upset his Blue Origin jumpsuit didn't fit well around his crotch before he blasted off in his phallic shaped rocket, according to a reports.A witness told Bloomberg he was "volubly upset" because the suit “fit poorly around the crotch."In fact, Bezos was so upset, he flew his personal tailor to his Texas ranch to fix the suit before Blue Origin's official launch. “He does have a level of self-awareness,” says Craig Berman, a former Amazon vice president for global communications. “I think that may be what may have ultimately contributed to him stepping away from the CEO role [of Amazon].”Bezos faced ridicule in recent months after he was blasted into space atop the penis-shaped projectile called New Shepard.People were left in stitches when jokers made fun of the missile’s rude shape.Despite Blue Origin founder Bezos being mocked for his willy-shaped rocket, there is a scientific reason for its design.Lucy Rogers, the author of It’s ONLY Rocket Science: An Introduction in Plain English, explained it comes down to aerodynamics.Talking to Inverse, Rogers said: “Think of a jumbo jet without wings and sitting on its tail.“Arrows, bullets, and fireworks are also generally this shape for the same reasons.”"The exhaust needs somewhere to go hence the capsule diameter is larger than the booster rocket giving it the characteristic ‘Flesh Gordon’ look," Paul Freeman, a space artifact photographer added.Bezos was beaten to space by rival billionaire Richard Branson, but flew higher in ground-breaking rocket New Shepard.

He was joined by his brother, an 82-year-old pilot and an 18-year-old student.They travelled to the edge of space on the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing."It was amazing",.
