My dad died on the golf course, doing what he loved. Riding a rocket… if I could choose that would be the way to exit.
When is it too soon to ask if Shatner was dying to get in space? Or was James T Kirk just boldly going where no 90 year old and very out of shape actor had gone before?
In all seriousness I wish him the best, but also hope there's a contingency plan of a defibrillator or heart specialists on board.
Very VERY cool t-shirt Fran! Fun fact: in 1975 Sparks tried to poach Brian May from Queen. This was just a few weeks before Bohemian Rhapsody was released…
While I think on; a piece of advice that, as a Liverpool FC fan, I would never normally give: if you're getting on that flight with Shatner, don't wear a red shirt!!
Coincidentally, I'm uploading a video from 1993 in which a guy who was probably in his late 40s or early 50s at the time said he was too old to go into space. If he's rich enough, he could finally go today!
Shatner's a bit overweight, but otherwise he's in great shape. He's still very active. He'll be fine.
Shatner dove in the ocean and was petting Tiger Sharks with Josh Gates during shark week this year…and now space. I hope I have his drive at 90! Bravo Captain Kirk!
You'd think the actresses would put their hair in a bun, or at least a ponytail or something, instead of full fright-wig mode
So… Russians have sent a stunning blonde actress in a real spacecraft that pulls real g's on takeoff. She also had to push some rocket buttons on the way up, and then everybody gasped at the sight of her blonde hair floating around thr space station. Americans will send 90 year old actor in phallic-esque rocket barely touching the space, he will be probably pushing everybody's buttons all the time, and the only thing that will be floating around after flight are old man's farts…
This is a double win for both Jeff Bezos and William Shatner , Bezos gets the free publicity and Shatner gets the free ride.
I would like to point out that in your video about the Zero G experience, you said that the first couple of parabolas weren't bad, but it got worse over time because of all the cycles between 2G and 0G. That won't be the case for people on Blue Origin's space ride. The profile for this is ONE relatively high G period, followed by ONE zero G period, and then one more high G period on return. I don't know what the maximum acceleration on either end is, on the Blue Origin flights, but since it's a sub-orbital flight, the maximum speed isn't all that high, and after all, the total amount of acceleration you have to do is proportional to the maximum speed. I think Bill will be okay.
