He said:"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."With friends and family gathered around the recovery team, the hatch the capsule is opened.

He added that there may be images later of the four newly-minted astronauts in space, as there were for the first Blue Origin flight.

While most of the younger generation may not 'get' this, it's a big deal. For my generation, our very own 'Captain Kirk' made it into space for real. When Star Trek 1st came out the premise was considered unreachable. Today it has come full circle.

He is right. Everybody needs to experience this.

Well that’s terrific to have an awesome experience!!!!

No chance. No interest at all in it.

give the man some space 😂😂😂😂🦇

I think everybody in the world will have bigger priorities than having any notion to go to Space. Does Mr Shatner realise what state the World is in right now.

I think William liked the blue.

And promptly gets ignored by a champagne swigging rude classless mug

Everyone in the world needs to be forced to take a vaccine that don’t work!!

Good for you WilliamShatner

Cling on on the starboard bow now .

Here I am rinsing out yoghurt pots to do my bit to save the planet and Bill Shatner wants everyone in the world to rocket to space and back
