Newser) – William Shatner on Wednesday became the oldest person to go to space. After a couple of delays, CNN reports the 90-year-old blasted off from a West Texas launch site on an 11-minute up-and-down flight (with four of those minutes being weightless). He rode on Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule, in what was the company's second crewed launch. CNN reports Jeff Bezos himself shut the door to the capsule after everyone was loaded in.

All the rockets have that stellar shape ....I think Jeff is trying to make a statement or make his ex jealous !!!

And he finally was boldly going...
Good for him if that is what he wanted to do! |

Who went up in that silly thing I could care less about.
How the motor came back to earth was reasonably clever. I think it landed better than the capsule. That came down and hit with a thud. $25,ooo,ooo per person? They're dog nuts. The failure rate for rockets isn't anything to be proud of. One day, one of those will go boom, and then they will proclaim was a tragedy it was. It's just a new version of russian roulette. |

I wish I could post the meme,
suggesting we all be costumed up like Cornelius from 1968 Planet of The Apes when Shatner returns. |
