I asked Shatner for an autograph once, and he said no. It was ok though, totally his prerogative.

Watching the architect explain the many escape systems that keep the astronaut pod safe, it struck me that it may be safe enough to send nuclear waste ☢️ to space finally!

While at IGN he was literally the first celebrity interview I did. He was nice, not like the stories that go around about his ego.

You've sure worked at a lot of places Mr. SIE lol. Always liked your posts, but yeah, pretty interesting background I guess.

Damn I didn't realize he was that old. I assumed he was somewhere between late 70's and early 80's.
Definitely looks great for a 90 years old.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
That landing of the rocket looked like fucking CGI, me and my sister just both looked at eachother when we saw it.
Not saying it was all fake, just that landing didn't look real at all.
Also the design of New Shepherd

I'm just glad Bezos didn't kill Captain Kirk.

To be honest, I feared it would happen. Though I was rooting for success.

I saw shatners pre-flight interview about how he wants to see the orb etc and thought.. urgh, he has his lines scripted already. His reaction when he landed was amazing, no script just pure shock and emotion. He was lost for words but he communicated profoundness in a way no scripted lines could. It was a joy to watch for all the right reasons.

All nice and stuff, but are we now going to shoot endless rockets into space polluting to the maximum so a bunch of rich people can validate there wealth?

Men hearing william shatner talk when he lands is dam emotional.

that feeling when u start to realize that movies like that matt damon one with orbiting space stations for wealthy people and the giant landfill for everyone else are what it's going to actually be like, rather than Mass Effect

Shatner didn’t pay. He was a guest and marketing stunt.

Agreed! Lets burn down the patriarchy together so we can recreate an equal society for everyone based on love and kindness.

Born 1931. The first man in space wasn't until he was 30 years old. Can only imagine what a profound experience this was for him on many levels. Way cool.

"Raw emotion" .. lmao dude was high as fuck. There's no way they aren't gonna drug a 90 year old fatass before launching him into space. At the very least they gave him some valium.

As Shatner goes on waxing philosophical, Bezos is just nodding while he thinks about the new chick he's gonna fuck later that day.

Yeah I'm amazed people are even tuning in for all this nonsense.

Aren't people who have seen the Earth from space supposed to be overcome by profound experiences and return a different person (in a manner of speaking)? I don't see Bezos & Co doing a 180 any time soon and improving things down here lol. If anything this just seems to be another way of lining their pockets, or at the very least a dick measuring contest between the 1% lol.

Who gives a fuck is what am saying. :)

Normal people after going to space get profoundly moved to tears, like they've gained a whole new perspective after seeing the Earth as one entity, truly perceiving that they are a part of something bigger than themselves.

Bezos after going to space says the same platitudes he said before going to space, like nothing even happened.

so happy for him that he got this experience (that billions likely never will) but fuck bezos. surely shatner could've afforded to get a seat on a SpaceX flight and see real space?

Lol, you could see Bezos trying to look good and listen to/let Shatner talk, but he quickly got impatient and clearly wanted to be doing the champagne party instead. Lasted about 30 seconds.
