Congratulations Captain James T Kirk!

[Theophilous Meatyard III]

Dang! Now I have to put my retirement villa on Mars.

[Chode]

true

[bunkerhill7]

Captain Kirk has Spaceballs.

I suspect the ‘vomit comet” is still not quite the same thing.

[Yo-Yo]

I suspect the ‘vomit comet” is still not quite the same thing.

True, not quite the same thing. You get a much better view from Blue Origin.

But the zero gravity experience feels exactly the same, because it is exactly the same. Blue Origin also follows a parabolic arc for its zero gravity experience.

I wonder when Shatner was looking out the window.... did he see Scotty floating by? : )

[Disambiguator]

People have no idea what big airliner jets are actually capable of doing. They’re driven gently for the sake of the passengers.

[White Lives Matter]

Lol

I doubt it.

[GOPJ]

I’m happy this happened... has a nice feel to it.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

Even in zero gravity, Shatners wasn’t doing much floating.

[White Lives Matter]

If you noticed, he was holding on to his seat buckle strap so he could stabilize himself looking out the window.

[TonyM]

Shatter looks pretty good for 90 years old. True, he won’t be squeezing into his old Captain’s uniform though.

[rlmorel]

LOL, I feel the same way...:)

He is a ham-fisted over-actor, and can poke fun at himself...I think that is what people like in him outside his Kirk role...

Of course, that and Denny Crane and his Mugger...:)

[Jane Long]

God bless Bill Shatner.

He looks a little, deer in the headlights, in the one shot I saw.

What a thrill, for him...and, the crew, to have him aboard.

[Eddie01]

The Earth.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think he truly internalized he was in the real thing, not on a sound stage behind a projection or green screen

And how fortunate he is to be able to have this experience

[Karl Spooner]

Shatter looks pretty good for 90 years old.

Pretty amazing that he went up all those stairs quite easily for his age. Thought maybe they would go up in an elevator or something. He wasn't panting one bit when he arrived at the top after carrying all that extra weight of his.

Noticed “Wonderwoman” behind the center blondie hair in the photo -

[patriotfury]

Something about the “mass effect” -
