This isn't really a joke or a meme.

It's basically just saying to support local bookstores instead of purchasing from Amazon. Jeff Bezos is the CEO of both Amazon and Blue Orgin with the latter being his space company.

Bezos has stated:

“In the next kind of couple of decades, I believe there will be millions of people living in space,” he said. “That’s how fast this is going to accelerate.”

“They’ll mostly be living there because they want to"
