I just want to see the video of him looking out the window towards the stratosphere and saying there’s, something, on, the wing!

I can only imagine what a nervous wreck everyone involved in the launch must have been.
Lose that rocket and you get a lot of people (fans) mad at you for a technical issue.

When you're no longer being 98% propelled by aerodynamic lift...you're in space!
Capsule footage…
He seemed to "get it" certainly more than some others seem to be able to articulate anyways.
I think anytime humans leave earth, there are greater forces in play than technology, political forces like the cold war, or now tourism or thrillseekers, or even exploration. Life as a natural force, leaping off it's birth world. That's powerful.

I did not expect to be moved as I was when the rocket took off. Shatner's words were brilliant, his reaction beautiful. You can't help but get romantic about this.
Somehow I want to believe she was there. Somehow.
Getting these images from here by the way.

Is there a candy wrapper floating around in the capsule?
It was a bit sad to see how insensitive and with a huge lack of respect the rest of the passengers exited the capsule. I know not one of those three others, and I guess that Shatner was THE celebrity on board. The Captain´s first attempt at sharing his impressions was stopped by the cheering and infantile behaviour of the people surrounding him. No dignity there, Jeff Bezos somehow recollected himself and kept quiet during the interview that Shatner gave. Although I have seen Shatner always as being a self-promoter and "showman", I had the feeling that he was truely, sincerely moved by this short trip into space. And even if it wasn´t Shatner, having the OLDEST person going into space in the history of space flight should motivate anyone to act with dignity and a huge amount of respect in his presence.

William Shatner Is the Only REAL James T Kirk, and the only member of Star Fleet to actually go into Space!
Here are the Captains 1st words after he landed back on earth, he is obviously a little loopy from the ride!

How space researchers knew that 90-year-old William Shatner didn't have to worry about his age
William Shatner, the 90-year-old actor of "Star Trek" fame, endured a 10-minute, rocket-powered ride to the edge of space, which put his body through crushing g-forces that his fellow passengers described as face-bending — only to step out of the vehicle and immediately begin waxing poetic about...

the first living member in space, but some of James Doohan's ashes were snuck aboard the International Space Station some years ago, so...
After a while I don't notice the genital aspect anymore. Is that good or bad? LOL
For landing it's well forgotten and impressive as SpaceX. Oh, and I'd give my left n** to ride in that big d***! LOL

This is gold.
Seeing his reaction honestly moved me to tears. I couldn't even imagine being such an iconic actor playing a part like that and now in real life he's lived out the reality of his fictional role, even if it was only for a moment. Wow. This is so inspiring!
It's so nice to see stories like this in the world. We could use a whole lot more of it!
