The choice to ride in such a primitive unproven craft, is …illogical captain

I wonder if his will be the first hairpiece in space? He doesn’t look too thrilled to be there.

The Shatman is in the knob at the top and 15 minutes away from being shot into the air.

I hope they have named the capsule "Enterprise".

 

Don't think they have Chris. Personally, I'm hoping Captain Kirk has checked with Scotty that the dilithium crystals aren't fractured. 🤔

They are in a hold at the moment so that could be why.

In search of hot Aliens to shag 😎

He had some sweet young thing hugging on him when he got out. The Captain still has it.

It’s a shame I thought how the Amazon guy interrupted the shat’s initial emotional account by demanding a bottle of champagne.

‘People who bought space flights also bought bottles of champagne and AAA batteries.”

You could see the experience had a profound effect on him.

And yes, Bezos was an word not allowed when he turned away from Shatner.  Couldn't have been more rude.

I suppose he wasn’t being deliberately rude, he was just excited, but it was just a shame.

Amongst all the whooping and champagne spraying was a man giving an extremely emotional, raw  account of something that had just instantly changed him forever , and his perception of his own life and mortality. I personally was mesmerised by his every word as you don’t hear this sort of raw emotional account  from the traditional test pilot breed of astronaut.
He was literally having an epiphany live in front of your eyes.

It was just a real shame the Shat was cut off mid flow and left to stare out the ground while mr Amazon sought out and offered champagne that the Shat wasn’t interested in, what he had just experienced was way more Important than that.

All this time since he landed and nobody has posted this? He's now officially (as well as fictitiously) a...

He just kept talking once he started, and by the time he'd finished (if indeed he actually has!) I had tears in my eyes.

The last time my girlfriend and I were together before Covid kept us apart for 18 months (until last month), was to see The Shatner's Wrath of Khan show, so it's fitting he does this just after we've been reunited.

At the show, I bought a "What would William Shatner Do?" t-shirt. I think I should have the following printed on the back:

"Go in to space in a **^^*£ing phallic rocket, that's what!"😁
