Looks like they had a blast. Those windows are huge compared to the old Apollo ones.

Very happy for Shatner.

The captain has made it back to space.

I am very happy that William Shatner got a ride into space. He might be a Canadian by birth but he is an American national treasure - a mench of a man if there ever was one.

I wish Shatner many more great moments.

You can experience the same zero gravity experience for a whole lot less money.

Zero G

That’s so cool. Experience of a lifetime for sure. Glad for Capt. Kirk to actually be fortunate enough to leave this earth as it is quickly becoming a hellhole.

I hope Shatner said this at least once during the flight:

He also set a world record - at 90 the oldest astronaut in space. I just wish he had been in his Star Trek uniform.

Who cares about the billionaire pervert (JB) and his perverted-looking launch vehicle.

Must be a big letdown for Shatner.

After exploring the galaxies and the universe, and commanding a big and special spaceship and meeting all kinds of creatures and intelligent beings...

he was reduced to just flying a bit above the earth.

Bummer.

Getting Shatner to space is good. No downside at all.

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

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