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.

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

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.

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

It is free advertising. A good marketing ploy.
