William Shatner Reacts To Seeing Earth From Space: ‘It’s So Fragile’

[@tokenhillbilly3745]

He is 90 . He is Living and thriving also. He is full of life. I’m happy for you Sir.

[@Angry.General1461]

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 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!

shame the trip is so short you'd think they'd make it last a couple of hours not simply ten minutes but oh well

[@ShizzakGamer]

This is what i wanted to see. Instead the first human spaceflight they were laser focused on a m&m. You can experience weightlessness on a plane.

[@CaptainRetroStation]

Yeah, here you have the PRIVILEGE, and HONOR to be among the very few humans in HISTORY to view our planet from space, and these people are more excited about doing somersaults. Meanwhile, Mr. Shatner is GLUED to the window. Humbled to the core. Then, they make it back, and congratulate each other on their zero-g selfies, while popping open champagne. Meanwhile, Mr. Shatner barely has the words. I’m sure he wanted to use the word, “awesome”, in its original, and intended definition. But, I’m sure his traveling companions wore out its meaning, already. “Dude, did you see that totally awesome back flip I did in zero-g?” “Yeah, bro! It was awesome! I totally took an awesome pic of it while I threw Skittles in the air!” “Awesome!” “AWESOME!” Meanwhile, Mr. Shatner is weeping for the future.

[@ellencrabb799]

I couldn't be happier knowing, in a sense, that Captain Kirk, made it to space, twice in my lifetime.

So happy to see "THE Captain Kirk" SO engaged. I am so amazed that, really, no matter how he "seemed" to "experience" space and the vastness of it in each episode, in each movie, there are lots to learn and experience in truly seeing the earth as it is. Fragile. Alone. Life below. Death above in the black unknown. Very momentous to hear those statements from James T. Kirk. Teaching us how to boldly go where no one has gone before then, also teaching us how we should all be responsible in taking care of our fragile earth now. So happy that in that moment of his life, he was able to experience first hand how it is to go where not so many people have gone before, where his character should have spent almost his whole life in. Cheers to you, Captain Shatner. We'll always be grateful for you being James Tiberius Kirk. The original pasaway captain. Live Longer, and Prosper More!
