If something happens to Captain Kirk Bezos will go down in history as one of Star Trek’s classic villains.
Oh my Lord, you’re so right! He’ll never live that down. His company would be wounded too.
Bezos would already make a pretty good Bond movie villain.
At Shatner’s age, having a bad health result from the rigors of launch is more likely than not, yes?
But then, dying in orbit...maybe he’s okay with that.
(Would kinda suck for everyone else on the ride.)
