Hearing the wonder in William Shatner's words while others are celebrating as if it's a bachelorette really makes you realize that he's the only one who really gets what this experience means for humanity as a whole and confirms that in his heart he really is our Captain Kirk! It's a shame we could barely hear him as the others were screaming and laughing so much.

[@erideimos1207]

Well said.

[@flippersreef]

Agreed, he was trying to explain the only way he could at the time the profound grandeur of his experience, in the most human way possible. Truly genuine, it made me tear up listening to him. He gets it, I do to.

Couple things to keep in mind. Their booster always has a shakey landing and their capsule landing is very hard. 15mph is like a fit person running at full speed and than coming to an immediate stop with a wall. Blue Origin is like getting a 70 grade. 1 point away from failing.

[@heatshield]

Not quite that bad since they're sitting in reclined seats on suspension and there are landing rockets that fire right before touching down greatly reducing impact.

[@jareddbh]

Hi. The landing looks quite a bit more rough than it is. There is a jet of air blown out of the capsule right before landing that kicks up all of the dust, and the actual landing speed is like 2-3 MPH as you ride in on a cushion of air. It's fairly similar to a hovercraft or air table for vibration isolation.

I would not think he's 90 years old. I would think he's in his 70s. Most people would lose their head to Dementia or Alzheimer's after 80. He's not even walking with a cane! He's doing awfully well physically and mentally for his age! He might be able to live to be 110 if he's doing this well at 90!

Hearing William Shatners experience of Space was truly remarkable speech, and choked me up when he got all emotional! Mankind will one day colonise other planets, he truly is our Captain Kirk where he Boldy went as these are the voyages…..😊👍

So many years playing a space explorer and finally at NINETY FFS William Shatner fulfills his destiny. The obvious emotion of the experience seemed and probably was very overwhelming.
