I can understand your reluctance, but it borders on the absurd. Surely, the man eats, sleeps, and does other things even folks working on crunch time do. And if they're making announcements like this, either there's extensively bullshitting doing on or they're really far along in the process. And throwing out meat like this is only inviting others to question and comment. I imagine the team there either has someone to answer queries or, worse, some standard message they'll give. Maybe you can circumvent the latter. Worth a try, IMO, if it's not detrimental to your continued employment.

(Heck, friends of mine working at Amazon told me they asked any chance they got what was going on over at Blue Origin.:)

Dan
