William Shatner’s description was pretty epic. The profoundness had him in tears. Love to see. Rich man’s sport yes fine, but this was awesome.

He’s crying because he literally pooped his pants.
@Brian Hale You dont need religion to believe in god , religion is man made …
@fatflat wheelz
So, can God Speak?
WELL……..THIS IS ABSOLUTELY, LEGENDARY !!!!
Shatner is trying to articulate his feelings and Bezos prefers to spray champagne.
for shatner; once in a lifetime bucket-list experience. For Bezos; one more step of many many launches towards commercial success.

@brian b For Bezos, one more step closer to making Epstein’s Island 2.0 on the Moon.
In space nobody can hear him touching kids.
I know that was my impression also. Kinda shady.
Boys will be boys.
No shields at all. You left Kirk exposed to a possible Romulan kidnapping. Very upsetting.
Anybody else picturing Shatner explaining as if he’s the Family Guy version of Shatner?
Mr. Bezos, thank you for launching “Captain Kirk” into Space. His feet-on-the-ground oration of his experience was most profound. Thank you, Mr. Bezos, for listening. Dear William Shatner, may you never forget.
Wish the cackling would’ve stopped about two hours earlier when Shatner was talking after he landed.
You can tell William Shatner had a spiritual type experience. Awesome!
The Earth heals itself Capt. Kirk, don’t worry about it. We filthy humans just have to keep it clean.
I’m so happy for all of us thru getting to share in your adventure. Thank you and BRAVO 👏🏽
Blue Origin, the pioneer of reusable booster safely landing back to earth.
100% Awesomeness..!!
Thank you Mr. Bezos for giving us Capt Kirk in space..!!
When you see Mother Earth as she really is then people understand
Well done! It was great to hear from Shatner, his feelings and impressions. 🥰
The Man that popularized space travel has now travel to space. Awesome! and epic! are not enough, No, more likely HISTORICAL!!! “LIVE LONG AND PROSPER WILLIAM SHATNER”
They forgot to bring a camera with them? We might like to see too?
You couldn’t hear the STS shuttle after 90,000ft, but you can still here this thing at 190,000ft 🤷♂️
There should have been a camera in the capsule…how could this been over looked? Also, it was not that edge of space but the edge of our atmosphere, a little sub-orbital flight (remember this term from the 1961?) into space, and back down. Well, it did last 10 minutes…and as Ms. Peggy Lee (a singer of the 1960s) sang, “Is that all there is?”
“That’s one small step for Captain Kirk, one giant leap for William Shatner”
Poor Bill was just trying to be quietly expressive and everyone else was being insane
Bezos was being rude.
