The 90 year old ‘Star Trek‘ actor , who commanded a Galaxy Class Space Ship , The Enterprise, on a movie set, actually took a brief sub-orbital space trip this morning….
This time ‘for real’ only in a space capsule….
Shatner now makes the record books as the oldest astronaut to fly into space ….
Jeff Bezos supplied the ride….
Not NASA or the Federation of Planets….
Space for regular people is no longer a dream , but now ?……A commercial reality….
Ninety-year-old William Shatner, who gained fame portraying Captain Kirk on the original “Star Trek,” just hitched a ride aboard a suborbital spacecraft that grazed the edge of outer space before parachuting to a landing, making Shatner the oldest person ever to travel to space.
“That was unlike anything they described,” Shatner could be heard saying on the flight livestream just before landing.
Shatner blasted off onboard a New Shepard spacecraft — the one developed by Jeff Bezos’ rocket company, Blue Origin, and the same vehicle that took Bezos himself to space this summer. Bezos, a lifelong “Star Trek” fan, flew Shatner as a comped guest. With him were three crewmates: Chris Boshuizen, a co-founder of satellite company Planet Labs, and software executive Glen de Vries, who’re both paying customers, and Audrey Powers, Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations.
“What you have given me is the most profound experience, I am so filled with emotion, just extraordinary,” a visibly overcome Shatner told Bezos, immediately after emerging from the capsule. “I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now.”….
Note….
Pretty damn good Bezos ad, eh?

James, in your title you indicated that William Shatner got back from space “again”. But actually that was the first time Shatner was in space. James, The Star Trek series was actually filmed entirely on earth.
Satire Z…..
I clarify in the post…
Although you get confused easily, I knew you probably realized that Star Trek was not filmed in space. I just couldn’t resist taking a jab at someone who likes to attack me personally!
Satire?
Maybe
But under the revised standards here?James has announced his intention to censor those statements that are “patently incorrect.”
Satire,by its nature, is often “patently incorrect.”
Accordingly.I hereby declare that any comments I make ,which are adjudged “patently incorrect?”Are intended as “ satire” and not subject to his censorious actions.
Is there anyone believes that James cares about correcting “patently incorrect” comments? I am not aware of anyone other than James making stuff up on this website, He just doesn’t like me because I find his character flaws offensive. Really that is the only thing James will censure – things that make himself look bad. He doesn’t like when people show him for the type of person he is.
He is willing to put other people at risk of death because of his vaccination status. He is morally indifferent to actions which might kill someone. “He just is” – to use his obnoxious expression. And yes, I find that offensive.
James censuring unkind things that are said about him won’t make me stop making comments; it actually increases the need to make unkind comments. If he wants to ban me, he can. I am okay with that. If not, I will continue to point out his lies, and criticize him when he either willingly or unwilling mistates facts or uses faulty reasoning.
I agree Zreebs, he’s putting people at risk and that most likely drives his obsessive desire to downgrade the pandemic. He won’t feel so bad because he was too selfish to help.
It’s disgusting.
