Star Trek actor William Shatner and three others — a Blue Origin employee and two paying passengers — had their launch delayed until Wednesday while they wait for high winds to clear.

#NigthlyNews #WilliamShatner #Space
Best of luck to the captain. Im glad they are being so careful with launch conditions.
Reach space and he screams KHAAAAN
Haha “Scotty Beam us up Fast” that 90 year old Kirk has lost mind, trusting a rocket to blast him into space.. if he waits just on more year.. we’ll probably have public impulse drive.. just one more year Kirk ..probably…maybe
Best of luck Captain Shatner!
A dream come true for Captain Kirk ❤
Better safe than sorry
Blue Origin is a joke right now
Ein echter Captain Kirk , er hat mut
To space??? 🤣🤣🤣 poor guy they lie to him
Lol just the atmosphere…..
who is managing Capt. Kirk’s wig for this
I heard it on the radio, that William Shatner would go to space, i heard is age that he was 90, i was like huh he’s 90? He looks way younger 67
They’re still waiting for his old ‘Captains’ uniform to come back from the cleaners.
ness when stabilize my capital and funded my bitcoin binary account to make things stabilize and now I am more then grateful for the helpI was about crashing about of business
Intellectweb are the best.
So stupid but obviously nbc has money tied up in these pointless space ventures: no sign of journalistic integrity when you don’t do any stories about the wasted time and resources with so many problems here at home.
People taking part in this should be ashamed.
Where is Mr. Spock?
Should we be worried about it now being on the 13th? I mean, Apollo 13, you know. Just a passing thought. 😬
NO King here SUN
seee
Captain Kirk is going to space! 90 years young!
Should have been on the Enterprise
*AND ONCE AGAIN, BLUE ORIGIN/BEZOS = SPACE RACIST. WHITES ONLY. THAT WOULD BE THE HEADLINE IF BEZOS WAS A CONSERVATIVE OR IF IT WAS THE WEIRD MY PILLOW GUY. IT WOULD BE ALL THE FAKE NEWS WOULD TALK ABOUT BUT HE’S A LIBERAL SO THE MEDIA BECOMES INSTANT HYPOCRITES AND LOOKS THE OTHER WAY. DISGUSTING.*
Oh heck na! Where my star wars fans at? Let’s send Harrison Ford willing or not on a trip flying through the sky little Einstein
I made income investing with mrs ANGELINA JONES been finding a better value for my money now I make $12,000 every month
United States Space Force.
Please let him say….. “Space…. the final frontier…..”
Will he be part of the anti flat earth conspiracy if he says he saw the curvature of the earth?
I wonder if his wig will defy gravity.
Well; if the launch is too much for him and he has a massive coronary; still a better death than Kirk.🤷♂️
Too bad they could not do 4 or 5 orbits and really get him up into space.
How shameful if Captain Jerk’s first flight to space kills him by Jeff Bezos’ incompetence?
I wish him all the best with much success. How fitting that Captain Kirk would lead the way for all future space travelers. “To boldly go where no man has gone before!” I’m sorry that Leonard Nimoy, Spock 🖖didn’t get to make the trip with his captain. Beam me up, Scotty. 🚀🇺🇲
Fake as f…
NASA is a pure lie everything is fake
Nasa means to deceive in Hebrew.
The earth is flat!
Everything Nasa show to us is pure fakery!
Search the lost history of flat earth!
And watch Dave Weiss about flat earth!
We are living under a dome!
Search about the firmament and the waters above!!!!
Search about the military:
opération fishbowl!
We can NOT go higher!
Do your own research before start mocking!
Nasa uses fisheye lenses to mimic a curved earth, amateurs with regular normal lenses catched flat earth!
Do-your-own-research!!!
Enjoy your awakening!
How kool. Been me up Scotty.
💩.
No worries ,Scotty will take care of the Captain .
They should invite the top leaders of the flat earth society to prove to them once and for all that the earth is not flat. Oh wait, I forgot, there isn’t anything you can do or say to convince those fools that the earth is actually round, they will just come up with some excuse to keep their conspiracy theories alive, Its big money for them.
Does not look old at all, lots of energy. Looking forward to hearing about the launch conditions and possible take off tomorrow. Loved Shatner as Denny Crane but moreso in two Columbo episodes. Coincidently Leonard Nimoy was in a Columbo episode.
”………to oldly go……”
Is he wearing one of those maternity flight suits
Kind of like galaxy quest when the alien watched the movie thinking it was real wanting to meet Tim Allen good luck William shatner
I wonder if he booked his flight on priceline
Lmbao 😅
Please leave him there😬
William good luck and God bless you
“Impulse power, Mr. Sulu…. wait until we clear the planet, then Warp Factor One.”
“Aye, Captain.”
Instead of a 10 minute sub-orbital flight with only 4 minutes floating in space, why not just beam him up to the space station?
Blue Origin: took off
William: Schat his pants
This is a joke. Since the definition of an astronaut has been updated after Jeff went into space they will not even qualify as astronauts.
True about what you said. But you would be able to see space, up close and personal. It will still be a life-changing moment.
Heres one for Space Force Marines .. The force should bestowed an honorary rank of space force captain once he touches down ,🖖 make it official.. Call it make a wish for a true iconic hero . Make So number One … 🇺🇲 SPACE FORCE ONE 🇺🇲
I think Branson’s space plane would be a better option for going to the edge of space. SpaceX capsule is better – but you have to stay for a few days.
See see the beauty of CThis universe….blessings and……rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞🐞💐🌷🌺🌞🌦☁️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Total bs..
Hollywood smoke and mirrors NASA is a Fraud…
Please steer clear of the Nexus Kirk!
Of course, you do know that George Takei is paying to have them leave Shatner up there- right?
Space is fake. I can’t believe that people are actually still buying this provably false nonsense.
They should let William Shatner launch in as Star Trek gear!
The blue Origin jumpsuit is horrible!
I agree. That blue is for bridesmaids.
Spock is probably rolling in his grave worried about the safety of his friend.
So pleased for Mr Shatner, such a shame Leonard Nimoy, sadly passed before he could Join him. R.I.P
Also James Doohan (Scotty) 🙏🙏🙏
Great way of making us pay for a whimsical ride in orbit by pumping out even more CO2.
Don’t ask what Captain Kirk can do for us, ask what we can do for him!
StarTrek has caused major science breakthroughs and inspired many to study sciences. Without that we wouldn’t have so much green modern tech. We owe him one.
Enjoy the voyage everyone🙋🚀
James T. Kirk ISN’T being launched into space, William Shatner is… Kirk HASN’T been born yet, March 22, 2233. There is NO INDICATION that Kirk ever traveled back in time to be launched into space on October 13, 2021.
Do you forgot Star Trek IV?
Lols
“Beam me up NASA.” 🪐
What? William Shatner, aka Captain Kirk is going to space and he is the oldest? Like what 65, 70…. WHAT?? 90 ???? NO Way!! Incredible that he looks that good and fresh for 90!!! O_O
So 100km up there’s no gravity, so they float around.
But somehow the moon is held in place by gravity???
The capsule is following a parabolic trajectory, due to gravity. So are the astronauts.
he can do all this becouse he murdered his wife by pushing her into the swimming pool. cmon shat, you know what you had to do. she would have taken it all.
After they saw Shatner in that space suit the blue origin engineers decided to add another rocket booster for extra thrust.
He does love to eat.
hope he doest get cardiac arrest at blast off cos that would be beam me up scotty for good.
Buy a Space X ticket while you still can Captain Kirk 😂😂😂😂😂
No one cares about these pretentious people that look for attention. He’s lucky Hollywood liked the old white man appeal. I hope it combusts.
Shatner goes to space to promote saving the planet.
One Rocket Launch Produces the Equivalent of 395 Transatlantic Flights worth of CO2 Emissions
WELL DONE SIR!
who has a sweep he dies on launch
At last. We’ll finally know the world is flat. Go Bill go!
I expect the next delay will be when they discover a fazer in his luggage.
Good Luck Captain!!!!
In Star Trek, everybody had healthcare, housing, food, and education. I‘d be more excited about Shatner in space if it started with that.
How exactly Captain show them how’s its done . Yahoo!. Ex iting
Of all the people who deserve this, its gotta be William Shatner! 90 years old and did you see how ate those stairs!! Excited for him. God speed!

I’ve always liked Shatner as an actor. He’s now become one of my favorite people in general. Hope to be as spry and lucid as this 90 year old man when I reach 70.
lol
i think movie makers to make some space movies must be introduced to real space not cgi or makete…but indoctrination is irresistable
Wish the host would stfu
I SEEN THIS LIQUID POURING OUT FROM LOOKING AT THE TELEVISION ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHICH MAY MEAN THE REAL LEFT SIDE I HAVE HEARD THAT WHEN LOOKING AT TELEVISION IF YOUR TAPEING OR WATCHING TV AND YOU SEE SOMETHING ON THE RIGHT ITS REALLY ON THE LEFT LIQUID POURING OUT OF THE SIDE * I DONT KNOW IF IT WAS A TOILETTE LEAKAGE OR GASOLINE LEAKAGE * IT WAS LIQUID POURING OUT OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE* TOWARDS MIDDLE OF SHUTTLE* LIQUID WAS POURING OUT*
Ridiculous
I want a chance to go to space top
The newest COVID donors to outer space. We used to be worried about what harm outer space could bring to us, but now how much harm can we bring out there?
Who cares? Why does media give so much attention to a sociopathic multi billionaires play things?
BS!
Well, its done, and Captain Kirk made it!!! One suspicious thing…When he emerged, he talked about how black space was. No stars? I guess the stars are in our atmosphere. In all the space pictures of the moon landings there were no stars. Could it be the stars are fixed points of light above us in the stratosphere? Are we living in a dome after all? Ah the rabbit hole gets deeper… Stars are not suns out in space? Space is black. So…another conspiracy is born! Lol. Lets discuss.
To boldly go…
The money should go to help people, not lying nasa holes with sold souls!!
Clowns ☝
90 years old! Looks better than some 50 year olds I know
Shatner, a great man. Bezo’s? A arsewipe.
Pay how much does it cost
Wishing him all the best. A wonderful man and a great actor.
