Good for you Capt Kirk and the rest of the crew.
Big ta-do about nothing. The thing goes strait up and comes strait back down, suborbital. Blue origin is a failure selling carnival rides.
And, space tourism is the only thing that New Shepherd will ever do. Instead of concentrating on developing a cheap orbital vehicle like others did, they put all their eggs in the basket developing a vehicle that will forever be suborbital.
That thing looks like.......... good grief.
A silly stunt. Others are doing the real work of space exploration. Not Bezos.
They just showed a picture inside one of their Rivian electric trucks they use for transportation. Guess who’s driving the astronauts out to the pad? None other than Dr. Evil himself, Jeff Bezos.
I don’t know that would inspire any sense of confidence.
What time do they shoot the Shat into space?
NS-18 should have been re-designated NCC-1701
Shatner is now in the capsule.
The Door is closed
I’m watching this on the Discovery channel and find it funny that their SpaceLaunchLIVE logo has a SpaceX Dragon capsule.
Is this the same penis they always use ?
may the force be with him.
3 minutes
Just like an Estes rocket! lol Up and down in about 20 minutes.
Glad it went well. These things are still pretty stressful. Especially since I’m a big Shatner fan.
Any shot into space is by definition a suicide mission, so many things can go wrong. Shatner is 90 and and is having the time of his life, I am sure he has taught out all the risks and decided to go in any event, anyone who goes up knows the risks. I would not belittle anyone who is doing this. We have been fortunate to have a long safety record like we have in this endeavor. God Speed Bill, wish I were with you.
Amazing technology. And happy for Shatner. But listening to that commentator and others (not Shatner), and having lived through Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Spacelab, Shuttle and the Space Station, I’m kind of chuckling to myself. I feel so fortunate to have lived through those experiences and, frankly, for the virtues it imbued in me.
