William Shatner Travels to Space on Jeff Bezos’ Intergalactic Wienermobile

William Shatner became the oldest person to go to space today after Blue Origin sent up their second round civilian passengers, Jeff Bezos welcomed him back to Earth and they shared a special moment, state run media in North Korea broadcast a defense exhibition where soldiers did their best to dazzle Kim Jong Un, Halloween is coming up and people across the country have started decorating, airlines are refusing to follow Texas Governor Gregg Abbott’s vaccine mandate ban, a Louisiana zoo is giving out vaccines to animals, health experts are warning that cold weather could ramp things up again as people move indoors, and we look back a year ago this week in a new edition of “This Week in COVID History”

[@Patrick_Ross]

@@pdoylemi - how, exactly, are the Bezos rides into space for the ultra wealthy benefiting mankind? Yep…..not one bit.

[@pdoylemi]

@@Patrick_Ross The answer is that we don't know. In the early days of flying, it was a luxury for the very rich, and even later, as it became more accessible, it was still the "Jet Set" few ordinary people could afford to fly. Here is a perfect example from 1981. I was an E-3 in the Navy - making a bit over $600/mo. My brother was getting married in Michigan and asked me to be in the wedding party. The round trip ticket was over $1,200 dollars! That's almost $3,700 today! Luckily, military personnel got a 50% discount then, so I could manage to pay - but it cost a month's wages. Today (ironically) that brother lives in San Diego and I live in Michigan, and I can get tickets for (usually) around $300 or $100 or less in 1981 dollars, to go see him. People have to push the envelope - sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. I think the physics works against this - but for all we know these first steps will allow ordinary people to travel to the other side of the world in just minutes. But even if that does not happen, if we can make the experience of going to space something that millions can afford - that is worth it. What is the value of movies, music, books, Disney World, sports. etc? At their best they enrich the human mind and spirit, and make life worth living.

James Doohan ('Scotty') got to space before Shatner and has been there since 2008, though dead. His ashes were smuggled aboard the International Space Station in 2008 by entrepreneur Richard Garriott during a 12 day mission as a citizen astronaut.

[@coolcat6303]

Yeah I remember hearing about that & thought it was cool. I actually had the pleasure of seeing James Doohan back in 1986. He came to the Tulip Time parade in Holland, MI as a special guest & stood on top of a crappy looking float (Aluminum & Cardboard glued together) of the Enterprise. He seemed to be really happy though & actually waved and smiled right at me. That really made my day. It was also surreal because I had just seen him in Star Trek 4. Only wish I could’ve met him.

[@-oiiio-3993]

@@coolcat6303 I grew up in the San Fernando Valley in the 1960s and was in the YMCA 'Indian Guides', a boy scout - esque organization then very popular in which fathers and sons wore a lot of Tandy kit buckskins, glass beads, and turkey feathers while camping out, having pancake breakfasts, and such. One of the dads in my group was James Doohan. This was during the same time that Star Trek was in production. He, my dad, and a guy we all called 'Smitty' palled around a lot. I have slides around here somewhere of Doohan in full 'Indian Guide' regalia on campouts and such.

They should've pranked Shatner when he landed back on Earth, by dressing as the dead red shirt crew and aliens from Star Trek.

@@richsackett3423 I honestly don't know exactly what you want from me. I don't want to prove anything, I don't want to put myself above anyone, I just want to point out a mistake. There are significant objective differences between a talk show and late night. Kimmel is a late night in terms of production. At least that's how it is here in Germany. Jerry Springer would be called a talk show here but not Kimmel. I find it devaluing compared to Kimmel. Therefore I only point out the mistake from my point of view. No reason to insult me. If someone were to call the late night I participate in a "talk show", I would be offended.
