#WilliamShatner #BlueOrigin #RocketLaunch
I feel bad for jeff. He’s bored AF listening to old man while the youngs are having a blast at the back.
2.39. `What you have given me`… No, it is what God has given us. This beautiful planet.
God is dead, humankind is it’s own god now
@Jackson G not really, just watch.
bezos and everyone else there was pretty gross.. why did have to be them
At 60mph, driving in a car, each of us would go that distance in less than
1 hour !!!
We are one hour away from no earth , no life.
How can we Really learn this lesson
before it’s too late ?
Now it’s George Takei’s turn.
Cut out right as Bezos interrupts his profound experience mid sentence to yell out for a bottle of champagne, shake it everywhere and then turn to Shatner (recovering alcoholic) and offer him some….
Glad to have you back, Captain!
God created our whole world and universe in a delicate balance.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is called the “overview effect”.
I wish it had been George Takei instead.
I wonder if those annoying people in the back will like a trip to uranus ?
I find it interesting it took Mr Shatner 90 years to have an experience and enter a new level of consciousness/self-awareness. This should of happened as a child. This is why alot of children become scared of the dark. The vast emptiness/darkness of space is very similar. I guess people just grow up differently. You will pass through many levels of consciousness as you get older.
That’s the actor talking
The people being very loud in the background need to not be there. Ruined this video.
Blow the ozone away each trip
What’s with the loud pack of dogs in the background?
Do you believe in God now?
@Laza yeah and to dump survivors guilt on others would make you such a great God right? You are focused on the idea that this life is better than the next for those kids is because you don’t know anything different
@Faithequalsworks If the next life is better than how did he show you mercy by keeping you in this one ?
@Laza got ’em
@Jackson G easy money 🙂
@Jackson G you two are just clueless about sanctification and the opportunity to make your wrongs right and second chances
Fact: Bezos is dead from the neck up.
Friggin bezos has no idea why shatner is so moved, he probably thinks shatners a moron for having any feelings other than “I’m so important I flew to space” the blank look on his face while shatners trying to convey his feelings screams sociopath
Need new star trek series now that he has the perspective of being in space. The man is immortal
Thought the ozone layer was bad? Oh just for the little people right. I don’t want to hear what days to mow or water our yards anymore. 😠
Wow.
Just more rich people preaching about the need for Earth resilience and protection while puting more money to degrade it at the same time.
There will never be a Plan B because it’s Impossible!!!!!!!
And if think about it…. Everything they he is expressing is the truth! Earth is so small and fragile compare to what await up out there and yet we don’t appreciate, care for our earth the way we should! We all want to have a safe, clean, solid home, and place to live. We all have to take care of our earth! F the greed, F the money, Mother Earth is 100000x more important that money. Wake up
There is no such thing as “Climate Change” only God does that. If celebrities care so much about the earth let them be the examples and discontinue driving their vehicles and private jets.
As if he could withstand going 2k mph
Psalm 8:3-4
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
I know the people in the background were very excited but I wish they could have been a little more respectful and stepped to the side during Williams’s interview.
Yeah lets send dinosaurs to space for PR reasons instead of sending new generation that could actually share their experience and benefit human kinds
This is how I felt when I discovered weed for the first time
Gee Bill Shatner, how much carbon did you and your fellow rich co-passengers needlessly and wastefully dump into the atmosphere for a marketing stunt for Bezos? Another enviro-hypocrite
It truly makes you feel or understand how small we really are in the grand scheme of things which we take for granted so easily.
So fitting that William Shatner should be able to do this during his lifetime!
Out of the blue and into the black…..i wonder if Niel Young is listening?
This dude took LSD before he went up there . Lol
Captain Kirk and a Bond villian went to space. I never thought I’d see the day.
Breaking News: Rich people go into space doped up on drugs while the rest of us fight amongst their scraps.
As they say in church, you won’t leave like you came. Sounds like He met Jesus, being born again. GOD Created All of that. The heavens and the earth.
He is genuine, and looks and sounds great for such a young age…lol! May God Bless Mr. William Shatner. I was thinking, this is what we all should come away with, after hearing and/or reading/studying The Word Of God! That’s what I’m thinking. True joy! Amen?
They don’t want everyone to see that because we would quit our jobs and live off the land.
Does going to space cause brain damage? I assume that he was protected by the radiation, too?
Great sales pitch. Bezos is a genius for letting shatner sell
I knew he was a good actor but my God that was a performance of a lifetime.
Captain Kirk I salute you, Qaplah!
Now the world must be eagerly awaiting next headline from Shatner.
You guy’s should upload the other clip where Jeff Bezos blows him off
What are the names of the cackling idiots that ruined such a spiritual moment?
God our Creator is Great
Beautiful speech. Made me tear up seeing him so emotional and moved from the experience, im really happy for him.
Gobshite Wilhelm of the Buck House mafia had to open his parasite trap on this one. God, that despicable rabble will never cease.
Conquering Everest will still be greater Than a trip out of the atmosphere and claim to be an Astronaut. Bezos adds no value to the world with this silly project yet his own workers are slaves at Amazon.
Now we need George Tekai and LaVar Burton to experience this!
Kudos, Bill. You made it up to space! I have to recommend, however, that you get a different tailor. You looked like William Shatner…ate another William Shatner. I know they say “the camera add 10 lbs”, but man, you looked like you were gonna burst out of your suit! Or is ‘space-bloating’ a new thing?
Zen
We are amazed and celebrating 65 miles from earth when we supposed so easily went 238750 miles to Moon and back WTF
Uncle Jeff my own father Christmas.
I hope I am as articulate and coherent as he is if I make it to 90. Well done…
Its surprising what money can buy.
This is far as Esau will ever get into heaven.
Who’s the dark haired girl he’s hugging??
So very neat! So happy for him.
Ya know, what he’s describing is the exact same way I’ve heard ppl refer to DMT ….LITERALLY. if you want to have a similar experience to Captain Kirk you know what to do
Beam me up Scotty
God bless you William Shatner. 👏
no masks in a confined tube. guess the plandemic is over for super rich.
Bill being just bill for once. Pretty cool to see his reaction. Hes so beyond blown away
Jefff Bezos just seeded the idea that endless consumption will be the end of humanity…
the space actor being paid to tell us the earth is fragile so they can bring in the sunday law carbon credit lockdowns. anyone here trust beezoz?
ถ้าทำรถยนตร์ประหยัดพลังงาน1ลิตรสามารถวิ่งได้100 กม..มีกี่คันก็ขายหมด เห่อออ…เพียยยย..
I am a Trekkie fan but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bill Shatner as an actor had most of his speech premeditated.
Jeff Bezos can’t wait to shut Capt. Kirk up.
Why does the rocket look like the male genitalia.😵 Folks really think they went to space🤦🏽♀️ This should of been front page news.
Space is black because the Sun doesn’t shine there, the Sun faces the earth and shines on earth. By the way, the whole universe is called a ‘black hole’
Good for you Captain Kirk!!!!!
Beam me up Bezzy!
🤣🤣🤣 the narrator!!!
It takes 1.5 minutes to leave the lower atmosphere (50miles) at 2000mph
Pity, no one there wanted to listen to Shatner. The ridiculous self- congratulating champagne party missed the boat. Bezos got a clue eventually.
I bet he is reminiscing about being captain Kirk now. More than he ever has
That woman in the background laughing is annoying . Im happy for Shat since he’s so ecstatic talking about it then Bezos cuts him off . On another note this maybe was a publicity stunt Bezos did sonce all he thinks about is making a buck.
Let’s go
You are NOT insignificant. The 1% of 1% is insignificant compared to us.
Stop the evil globalists and their manufactured COVID nonsense – lockdowns, “vax” passport, and mask mandates.
I dont believe it
Watch anything about astronaut training and the g forces involved
There’s no way this 90 pound man didnt blow out his backside
I feel l like he shat on takeoff…
Bezos and the other travellers are too shallow, too superficial, too narcissistic, and too small to comprehend the profundity of the experience. They were an embarrassment to humankind. I felt bad for Bill being surrounded by such trite people. Bill, unlike the wall street types and the fundamentalist Trumpeviks, understands the imminent clear and present danger of geo climatic changes to our planet. All life is at risk. All life is in peril. We must protect and cherish this gift, our earth. Thank you, Bill. ❤️
Blackness is death…..According to Shat.
Near space, the sorta final frontier. Glad Bill made this trip!
This is how I felt after I smoked dmt
Space is death & scary so everyone becareful out there!…🤯
What you’ve experienced is a bit of God’s majesty…
90 years old! He seems 70.
An old friend post Captain Kirk in space. I thought my guy passed. But he was on the top. 🤣! But when the regional 90-year-old Captain Kirk’s explains the visual of the world was something .
I wonder if he saw “someone on the wing”
Amazing! Watched this a couple days late. But still Amazing! Kudos to William Shatner a Living Legend. At his age, to take on a trip like this. I respect it a lot! I don’t even like going on Airplanes. Lol 😆
This scene though, somewhat amusing….
W. Shatner an elder poetically trying to find a handle on the moment.
Yet, next to them the younger generation in frolic joyous occasion with spirits.
What a contrast!
And previously, I was trying to figure out where $2 disappeared from my checking account 😑 🙄😂
I grew up watching booster rockets fall into the Ocean. Mankind and Science has really advanced!
Still, you are who you want to be.
Live, Love, Lose…..Remember.
That’s Life.
Anyone who’s ever had a proper psychadelic trip knows how he feels.
Too bad this moment was film with the sun in their back !
This is the only time I’ve actually felt pity for Jeff Bezos. All the money in the world couldn’t get him out of that awkward conversation. Poor guy.
If youre watching this do me a favor a dont look at any comnent threads.
Ill tell you why.
In this video this man had a darn near religious spiritual life changing experience and it’s a sweet precious video to behold. But in the threads youll see people inevitably turn something beautiful like this into an opportunity to fight with each other, arguing over semantics and things increasingly distant from the video.
So do this for me if you feel the need the post do so, but dont bother replying or reading any of these threads. Secondly take a moment to love on someone near to you or bless someone with a gift, phone, call or a freaking hug. Thirdly, have a GOOD freaking day! Be encouraged, smile like a madman, and be grateful for something. I dont know you but i love ya and dont let this world or any other person continue to make whats pleasant into something ugly.
Love yall stay blessed
