Shatner in sorta space...kinda sad really
 
Something sad about Shatner going to kinda sorta space in a penis shaped version of those water pressure powered rockets we played with as little kids.

I think it is great.

It is off hold. 44 minutes to go. Should go off at about 9:30 central.

He should be wearing the Enterprise logo. This is great. I heard Bezos comped Shatners ticket.

MAn I just don't get the hate. I think it's awesome, and a great advert for consumer space travel.

I could not agree more.

Jealousy? No, they aren't genuine astronauts but I see it as the ultimate roller coaster thrill ride for the super rich.

90 years old. Good for him!

I think it's awesome that Shatner gets a ride.

Met the man 20 years ago and I thought he was old and frail at the time. In retrospect may have just been fatigue from travel.

That he is still kickin enough to do this at 90 is spectacular.

If any civilian deserves to bounce up to space for a thrill, I think Shatner does.

Cap'n Kirk ... at 90? That is freakin' awesome :)

Freakin' cool! I hope he enjoys the heck out of the trip.

flatbutt 10-13-2021 06:18 AM

The tech is amazing. They're in there with no helmets or pressure suits.

Seahawk 10-13-2021 06:20 AM

Watching it live on the interweb.

red-beard 10-13-2021 06:20 AM

I'm watching it on You-Tube and the "suggested" videos show up...

It is free advertising. A good marketing ploy.
