[William Shatner] We live by a hair in this tumultuous universe.
I could die, and if I die, what will I... what will I miss most?
Who... who will I miss and what will I miss most?
-Godspeed, guys. -[Audrey Powers] Thanks, Jeff.
We have an anomaly which is currently gaping escape enabled.
Potentially not something we can fly with.
[man] At this time we've got a component
that our engineering back room is a little concerned about.
They are taking a hard look at it.
Oh, boy.
What was that?
So the engineering room is looking at a component
that seems to be off-nominal that they don't like.
I heard that. They didn't like what they saw.
Yeah, so they're trying to figure out if they can recover it
and we can fly or if we have to scrub.
Are you kidding?
[inspirational music playing]
[Shatner] I am an actor.
I've been an actor since I was six years old.
Whether it's writing, directing, acting, producing, it's my way of life.
-Would you wake up, please, honey? -What are you looking at?
Gremlins. He jumps away whenever anyone might see him.
[Shatner] You might know me as Captain Kirk on Star Trek.
Beam me up.
[Shatner] What an extraordinary thing
to be part of a show business phenomenon.
I'm astonished not only by the number of fans, but the passion.
There is an adventure in my life that I would not have had
had I not played the role.
And it's only by being jeopardized
do you have a real taste of what it's like to be alive.
Once again, we've saved civilization as we know it.
So I have a kind of story to tell you.
I'm really gonna go into space, I think.
I mean, there's a romance, a beauty, a mysterious beauty about space
that I'd like to take a look at.
[Shatner] What led to this moment was my fortuitous meeting with Jeff Bezos.
Jeff. Come to make an entrance.
-[Jeff Bezos] How are you? -I'm so good.
-Yourself? -Good.
[both chuckle]
The company is working on New Shepard. It's a tourism vehicle.
Right.
That's the one that, like, Alan Shepard did. It's called suborbital.
-You go straight up, you go into space. -Right, the one we just saw.
Yeah, you're in space for about four minutes.
-And you're building them now? Here? -Yeah. We haven't put people in yet.
I had only read about Jeff Bezos
and the richest man and all that kind of thing.
-Is this one in the making? -Yes.
[Shatner] I had no idea.
I thought the guy started Amazon and he thought, "Well, I'm a rich man.
What do I wanna do next? I'll go into space."
Little did I know that he'd had this dream all his life.
[Bezos] So I think it's important.
I think building the infrastructure so that humans can go to space
safely and inexpensively is actually gonna be important
for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.
Your objective is to build large vehicles
to do the heavy lifting that's done on Earth,
-the polluting and all that kind of thing. -That's it.
-Do it up there. -You got it.
-And keep the green... -Keep Earth clean.
-Boy, I could get behind that. -That's what we're trying to do.
-I can get on that. -And it's not gonna be easy.
Jeff Bezos' concept that all these polluting industries
could be moved into orbit
and to make pollution a thing of the past,
I mean, what noble ambitions those are and somebody has to start it.
This is the crew capsule.
So this is a little simulation of what it will be like.
Okay.
[engines roaring]
Wow.
Holy...
Okay, I... I, um... I can't go any further.
[laughs] Turn around.
-Jeff! -[laughs]
I'll go. I'll go, Jeff. I'll go. Wow.
-You haven't been up there yet? -No, not yet.
-Are you gonna go up first? -Yes. Well, I'm definitely going up.
I'm gonna just go as so soon as I can. I can't wait.
Are you gonna come?
If every...
[both laugh]
If everything is worked out, absolutely.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
Captain Kirk affected all these people.
-All of them, one degree or another. -Yeah.
The sense of exploration, the humanity of it is what we need.
-Yeah. -And I really feel that.
You know, if you follow Bezos' idea, even just to be an observer,
it's like a fairy tale, really.
[Bezos] On my grandfather's ranch
just outside of this little town in South Texas called Cotulla,
they had a small public library
and one of the fellows in town had donated
his entire science-fiction collection to that library
and over the course of a few summers,
I just worked my way through all the classics:
Asimov and Heinlein and so on and so on.
In third or fourth grade, I came across this show called Star Trek.
It had a big impact on me.
Star Trek is this incredible future utopia.
It made a bunch of people wanna help try to invent that future.
It certainly did me.
And since I was a teenager, I've been focused on going to space
in order to save the Earth.
I really believe that's essential.
I don't think it's a question. I think it's 100% needs to happen.
That's what Blue Origin is working on. That will change everything.
And I've always expected it to take time.
[rock music playing]
Every single day you think to yourself, "Ah, this is just impossible."
What you have to do is be stubborn on the vision and flexible on the details.
That's how you build a road to space.
Space travel and rocket science, people know that it's hard.
But it's also true that it's a solved problem.
The hard part is real reusability.
Jeff Bezos ready for liftoff.
Bezos realized the dream he's had since a child.
[man] T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, command engine start, two, one.
-[engines roar] - Ignition.
[woman] And New Shepard has cleared the tower,
on her way to space with our first human crew.
Okay.
Oh, wow. Oh, wow.
[Bezos] For me, the experience has completely changed me.
-Whoo! -[laughs]
Hi, Mom!
[man] Welcome back, astronaut!
[cheering]
So, Morgan, this is the first of what they hope will be
many Blue Origin launches, right?
Yeah, Kate, Blue Origin says they have plans in place
to have two more flights this year.
If everything goes according to plan,
those flights should be happening in September or this October.
[wind chimes tinkling]
-Hello. -Hi, Papa.
-[Shatner] Hi, my darling. -You look nice.
Girls, come and sit down. I have something to tell you.
[Melanie Shatner] Okay, that sounds ominous.
Girls, your father, your husband...
is going to go into space.
Wait, wait.
Time out.
So what is this? You're going up where and for how long?
300,000 feet.
Weightlessness in space.
They've invited me and I think it's something I want to do.
I think.
-[Melanie Shatner] Are you scared? -Yeah.
That bothers me more than anything
'cause I don't like to think of you as feeling badly.
I get why you'd want to do it. I mean, it does sound kind of cool.
Imagine being part of it in some small way.
-[Leslie Shatner] That's very cool. -Being part of it.
[Leslie Shatner] I agree the coolness factor's extreme,
but the safety factor's also extreme.
I just think that you should make sure your body can handle that kind of stress.
[Italian accent] You're talkin' to me here.
[Elizabeth Shatner] I agree with the girls.
[Leslie Shatner] Is there an astronaut or somebody?
No. It's a counterpoint to Star Trek.
[British accent] "And now Captain Davis."
"Yes, Captain Davis here, going into space, sir."
-This is not very reassuring. -Yeah, I don't mean to reassure you.
[laughter]
Am I nervous?
Well...
You know, I am.
I'm going up into space.
I don't know how many people who can say that who are now alive.
I've seen that tank-like vehicle
that moves the rockets out to the launching pad.
And I've seen them connect and the steam comes...
[music playing in background]
♪ And another thing I want to say ♪
♪ Is though I am... ♪
Is that weird?
That's what I'm afraid is gonna happen on launch.
Star Trek 's Captain Kirk.
Star Trek 's Captain Kirk getting the chance to touch the final frontier.
I'm freaked out, man.
[Anderson Cooper] I love how you announced this to the world with a tweet.
You said, "So now I can say something. Yes, it's true.
I'm going to be a rocket man."
Remember, I mean, Shatner is the guy who famously said, "Beam me up, Scotty."
Get out as many of his catchphrases as he can.
[Cooper] Have you ever thought about actually being able to go up into space?
No, I mean... I'm so sorry to...
to bring you down to Earth, to use a phrase.
-It was all pretend, you see. -[laughs]
-Oh, my God, he's going into space. -Wow.
Are you kidding me? This is awesome.
He's gonna be actually flying into outer space.
What he has given the world as a cultural phenomenon
with Star Trek is incredible,
that he should have a little bit of that adventure for himself is beautiful.
I'm just gonna give a bright hope that one day we're gonna be a spacefaring race.
Finally to see him, like, really in space in reality,
it's, like, a pinnacle thing for many people to see.
It's just incredible.
It's Shatner's turn. Why not?
And if something goes horribly wrong, he'll go out in a blaze of glory.
[man] William Shatner, God bless. All right, be safe.
Thank you, thank you.
[man] Bill created something that gave a hope to a lot of people.
It created a safe space no matter what you were going through
and he may not realize it, you know, but it gave people the strength to go on
when they were having a lot of rough times.
I know it did for me, you know.
When they said, "Would you like to go to space? And you're Captain Kirk..."
Oh, yeah, that was a long time ago.
And I thought, you know, "Who cares?"
Thank you for creating something that gave hope to a lot of people.
-[Shatner] But in my... -Have a wonderful day.
...years with Star Trek having played the role of Captain Kirk,
it's life-changing in its way for so many people.
There's a great deal of curiosity about this fictional character,
Captain Kirk, going into space, but I am an actor that played the role.
I mean, we think of the astronauts as supermen,
but they're just human beings filled with the same fears that I have.
I have noted the passage of the Enterprise
on its way to whatever awaits it.
The finest starship in the fleet.
[Shatner] And that's the question I'm having prior to this leap into space.
Will it work?
[inspirational music playing]
After Star Trek , the show was cancelled
and my marriage fell apart.
I was essentially broke.
But in order to save some money,
I bought a used truck and I put a cab on the back of the pickup truck.
I used it as living quarters for months.
And I'm in my truck in a pasture
and I'm lying in this camper,
looking through a window up at the moon.
[man] And we're getting a picture on the TV.
I've got a little 4x4 black-and-white television
and I'm looking at the astronauts stepping on the moon.
[man 2] How is the quality of the TV?
[Shatner] And there we were...
[man] Really good.
[Shatner] ...walking on it.
[man 2] Oh, jeez, that's great. Is the lighting halfway decent?
[Shatner] The most glorious moment...
[man] Yes, indeed, they've got the flag up now.
[Shatner] ...of mankind,
and there I am, looking at their glory in my misery.
Still, that moment stays with me
when I think of the glory of space.
The continuity of that is, here I am,
55 years later...
about to go into space.
I wanted to feel the essence of space
and see what weightlessness was.
And then I picture myself
looking down at Earth,
the blue orb.
Come right around here.
-And then right down here. -"Light this candle." Who said it?
-Alan Shepard. -That's right.
He said, "Let's light this candle." -Oh, let's light this candle.
And that's what you're gonna be feeling when you're sitting in that capsule.
-Oh, let's light this candle. -You're like, "Let's light this candle."
Oh, I wanted it to be at rocket. Let's light this rocket.
These are quality people you rarely meet in life,
the kind of people we're meeting here,
especially these astronauts on the journey with me.
[man] They're very excited to meet you.
-Hey. -[Shatner] And I'm excited.
-Hey, Bill, how are you? -Nice to see you.
Good to see you in person.
I watched the original Star Trek series on TV.
I watched every movie. I have been to Star Trek conventions.
And we are gonna be doing something that is science fiction
and it's going to become fact.
I've always loved just the peaceful future that Star Trek represented,
and I think it's a future we can aspire for
and as a species evolved towards.
I think William Shatner is the best possible co-passenger
I could have for this flight.
[indistinct chatter]
-Hello, sir. -[Shatner] Hello.
[laughter]
Hi. I'm glad you're here.
-I'm glad to be here. -I'm glad you're here.
-Thank you. Thank you. -We're complete now.
-Yes, well... -You ready?
Yeah, I'm so ready.
[Powers] I think I reached a certain age
and I had given up on the idea that I would go to space.
I felt very fortunate to have worked as an engineer at NASA.
I always just felt really lucky to be enabling other people to go,
scientists and professional astronauts.
I was fine with that, so maybe that makes all of this
a little bit more hard to wrap my brain around, you know?
-To our adventure. -To our adventure.
[laughter]
[Powers] Cheers.
[laughter]
This was my Halloween costume a couple years ago.
[laughs]
It's great. That's wild. That is so crazy.
[laughter]
[Bezos] Do we have some prospective astronauts here?
[laughs] Jeff, every time I see you, your arms are getting bigger.
[laughs] Well, thank you. I've been working hard.
-Yeah, I mean, you're working hard. -Well, you're my role model.
-Well... -Seriously.
-Really? -No doubt.
-Okay. -Not even close.
[Shatner] I didn't know Jeff at all, only what I read, when I first met him.
The more I talked to him, the more I felt
a warmth towards him that was unusual for me,
and I felt I had made a new friend.
So I have a favor to ask of you.
Let me show you something.
-So... -Except sign something. I can't sign.
-You don't need to sign anything. -[laughs]
So, this...
It's something that my mother has saved.
So in fourth grade, I made these.
And so she went and dug around and found these.
Are you serious?
And this is a medical tricorder.
-This... -[imitates tricorder]
[laughter]
This is a communicator.
Oh, my God. Jeff.
And this is one of Spock's science tricorders.
That's hysterical, man.
And we would make... These are just the surviving ones.
-We had dozens of these things and... -And you played with these?
We played. In fourth grade, me and my friends, Dean and Kyle,
the three of us played Star Trek all summer long.
The favor I want is to ask you if you would carry these up into space for me.
What a great idea.
So that I can say these have been into space
with my friend Bill Shatner.
I'll take them up. I'll absolutely take them up.
[Bezos] Thank you.
Tell me about this land
and how the concept went from horses to rockets
or from rockets to horses.
So I grew up spending all my summers on my grandfather's ranch
-in South Texas from age 4 to 16. -Oh, really?
[Bezos] I've always liked Texas.
I've always liked ranch, ranching, and so,
20 years ago, I started looking for a ranch
that I could have as a place as a base of operations for Blue Origin.
And you had Blue Origin in mind when you were looking for a ranch?
Yes, it was just starting. Uh-huh.
A place where I could bring my kids and ride horses
and come to Thanksgiving and hike,
and combine that with Blue Origin's base of operations.
Wow.
When you talk about space travel and especially human space travel,
this is the barnstorming era.
In the era of biplanes, barnstormers would fly out to a farmer's field
and all the local people would come and they'd pay a fee,
and they'd get to go up in the air for five minutes
and see everything from the air.
And that's what suborbital tourism is too.
It's the barnstorming era of rockets.
But what does it let you do? It lets you practice.
And everything we humans practice we get good at.
I love it.
[Bezos] It would be impossible in the barnstorming era
to conceive of the 787 or the Airbus 380, and that's what we are doing today.
We're figuring out that path forward.
You know, you go back into the 1960s
when this novel show came on the air called Star Trek...
Steady as she goes.
[Bezos] ...and it showed us a world of almost a utopia...
Where I come from, size, shape, or color makes no difference.
[Bezos] ...where people of all races and all genders worked together.
It was an amazing, prescient thing.
I really believe that the world moves forward
with dreamers and builders.
And the dreamers dream and then the builders build.
And that's a big circle.
[Shatner] That's exactly right.
[crickets chirping]
[Shatner] This is the first morning that we are on our adventure
and the sun is rising and we're beginning our activities.
[Sarah Knights] All right, astronauts, I'm so excited you're here
and to teach you everything that you need to know over the next couple of days
to be able to fly to space.
And that's real exciting.
Sit back.
We've been working towards a school ready to fly people to space,
and that feels really exciting to have that confidence
in knowing that we're gonna have a fantastic flight.
You can see sort of a summary of the flight in the back
that will take off.
The crew capsule will separate from the vehicle.
[woman] The engine will start
and the rocket will lift off of the launchpad.
Twenty seconds later, the crew capsule will separate from the booster
and the astronauts can unharness and enjoy zero-G.
The crew capsule will continue past the Kármán line
to an ultimate apogee of 350,000 feet.
Around three and a half minutes after separation,
the crew capsule will begin to re-enter the atmosphere.
Parachutes will deploy, providing a nice, slow descent back to Earth.
[Knights] So this is our trainer that we're gonna get you inside.
This is the moment when you find out what seat you're in.
[Shatner] We're just at the beginning,
but how extraordinary it is to be part of that beginning.
What an adventure.
Come in, Astronaut Shatner.
A-okay.
[Glen de Vries] I'm getting very excited by this exercise.
Yeah, me too.
I'm really... I'm really feeling it.
[de Vries] Since I was a kid, I always loved science,
absorbing every book about spaceships, astronomy,
just could not stop.
Now finally, I can have the privilege of indulging in an adventure
in a way that I just never thought would actually happen.
Three, two, one.
-Engine start. -[engine starts]
Liftoff. New Shepard is clear of the tower.
[Powers] New Shepard is an autonomous vehicle.
That means that there is no human pilot on board.
[Shatner] You know, we're not pulling any switches
except get out of the seat in weightlessness.
[thud]
-[cheering] -We're in space!
-[Powers] Bill, you're in space! -So good.
-Look at that thing floating around. -[Powers] Bill, you're in space.
[Boshuizen] Look at Audrey's hair. It's crazy.
[Powers] I cannot wait to see the view.
Think about how amazing this is going to be when we see this
and when we experience this.
[Dr. Chris Boshuizen] I've loved space my entire life and, you know,
I actually brought an astronaut Lego with me to fly in my duffel bag,
little yellow guy, classic 1980s Lego astronaut.
It represents my childhood and my dreams of traveling.
You're a great actor. Did anyone ever tell you that?
[Powers] You're a great actor.
[de Vries] You really should think about that from a career perspective, Bill.
[Shatner] "You're gonna be weightless." What does that mean?
I wanna go up there without any prearranged ideas.
I want it to happen to me and let it happen.
We have our CAPCOM, Kevin Sproge, here to give us a Mission Control update.
So I have good news and I have other news.
Unfortunately, our weather forecast has significantly degraded
over the last 24 hours.
And what we do is based on our wind prediction.
We actually have our guidance, navigation, and control engineers
run a prediction of where the capsule is gonna land
and our prediction this morning
indicates the capsule is gonna land in an unsafe area
'cause the winds are so strong.
Not just surface winds, it's all the way up from jet stream.
And then we have really bad wind shear at 10,000 feet
all the way down to strong surface winds.
So based on that, we're gonna delay the launch for one day.
[Shatner] The universe has taken care of me all my life.
So these winds are a signal from the universe.
"Don't go, Bill. The rocket is flawed. Don't go."
[man] High winds in West Texas have delayed the launch
of the Jeff Bezos Blue Origin spaceship
originally scheduled for tomorrow, now slipping to Wednesday.
Hello and welcome. Please start us off. How are you feeling?
We've delayed 24 hours because of the winds
and the enormous concern for our safety and... [chuckles]
We welcome that concern.
[Knights] All right, astronauts, what we'll do this morning
is we're going to go out and we're going to start with a tower tour
and we're going to walk through all of the movements
that you're going to take tomorrow when you fly to space.
[Powers] It's been very real this past week.
I have been talking about this since I was, like, five years old.
It's very... It's very overwhelming, the whole thing.
I think I've just been in kind of a suspended disbelief the whole time.
The idea that I'm actually gonna get on top of a rocket in one day
is just hard to fathom.
[bell rings]
[woman] You're 90 years old.
They say that you will be the oldest person going into space.
Why did you want to do it?
Because I wanted to claim that I was the oldest person that went.
"He's the oldest guy that went into space?"
I wanna have the vision. I wanna see space.
I wanna see the Earth.
I wanna see what we need to do to save Earth.
I wanna have a perspective that hasn't been shown to me before.
That's what I'm interested in seeing.
-Hello. -Hello, it's nice to meet you.
How are you? A pleasure to see you.
Yeah.
I flew twice, both on the Space Shuttle Atlantis
and once to the Hubble Space Telescope
and once to the International Space Station.
So I got to go to two different destinations.
Okay, you're the man I need to talk to.
-Really? -Yeah.
What did you see when you had time to look up?
So the first thing I saw as I came out of the airlock
and so I'm coming out and I take that, you know,
grab the handrail outside the airlock and I pop my head out,
and I'm looking out the payload bay at the Earth,
the curvature of it, you know.
It was... It was mind...
Just awe.
What did you say?
I didn't say a word. I stopped, though,
and I just sort of froze and took it all in and I'm just like...
I think just that picture of Earth just took my breath away.
-[Shatner] Wow. -[Mike Good] Just so beautiful.
William Shatner, astronaut. How's the sound of that?
A small... small "A."
[laughter]
It is kind of a big day for you tomorrow and you're gonna go up into space
for the first time, and how are you feeling about that?
Have you imagined your own death?
-I've thought about it. I'm not... -Are you terrified by it?
No, I'm not. I used to be, like, when I was younger.
I used to be, you know, more afraid of that.
As I've gotten a little bit older, I've gotten less and less concerned.
Less afraid of it.
Because there was a guy who, when he died,
took a deep breath and said, "Of course."
Mm.
-And did he see everything? -Mm.
So tomorrow, does your heart suddenly leap and say,
-"I see... I see it"? -Mm.
Not the revelation, but I see the mystery.
I'd love to just expand in weightlessness and have that enlightenment.
[crickets chirping]
[indistinct chatter]
I know that guy.
Hey. [chuckles]
Hello.
Good to see you.
Okay.
[laughter]
All right, ladies and gentlemen, it is time.
We've got to get our astronauts in the launch procedure.
All right.
[Shatner] My family wanted to come.
I told them stay away. I'll telephone them when we're done.
You know, there's a mixed message, a hidden message.
"If you don't come back, goodbye. You know we love you."
-Be good. CAPCOM, okay? [chuckles] -Yeah.
[Shatner] It gives you a chance to rediscover
how important family and friends are.
-How you doing? -Nice to see you.
-You good? -Yeah, so good.
Yeah? Good.
[Bezos] I just wanted to let you know I just came from the training center.
You got four very happy astronauts over there.
They're incredibly excited.
And I know they're in good hands with you guys.
So thank you very much for that and Godspeed.
[Shatner] What's everybody doing?
Trying to communicate with, uh...
The last-minute communication? Is that what you're doing?
[Boshuizen] Yeah.
What are you saying?
That they should just relax and everything's gonna be okay,
but they're not picking up the phone, so they miss out. [laughs]
[indistinct chatter]
[people cheering]
[cheering continues]
[inspirational music playing]
[Bezos] When you're up there and you're looking out,
you see this beautiful,
vulnerable, blue planet.
Remember, it's just our origin.
And you guys are here at the beginning.
And this is how it starts.
[woman] Thank everybody for joining us live from West Texas
here at our Launch Site One.
We are T-minus 15 minutes to go here. We are in a brief hold.
Our four astronauts are in the capsule and ready to go.
Let's continue to watch New Shepard
as she gets ready for her flight to space this morning.
[indistinct chatter]
We have an anomaly which is currently gaping escape enabled.
Potentially not something we can fly with.
We're giving the software folks a few minutes to figure it out.
If we can resolve it, we'll proceed into the go pole.
If we cannot, we will be scrubbing.
[Powers] Oh, boy.
Are you kidding?
Flight, we're gonna clear this one from the board.
Detailed explanation from CC software. They're comfortable moving forward.
This should not impact any performance or capabilities of the CC.
[man] First Step, this is Blue control, I have good news.
Just as I spoke, engineering has decided we are good to go.
And we'll be clearing the hold here shortly.
Oh, Jesus.
[Powers] There we go.
This is worse than takeoff.
[Powers] They were just pulling your leg. They were just pulling it.
They wanted to see what your reaction would be, Bill.
And booster. Clear the hole.
[woman] All right, everybody, Chris Boshuizen, Glen de Vries,
Audrey Powers, and William Shatner
are about to go where very few humans have gone before.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to launch this rocket.
Godspeed, New Shepard.
[man] T-minus 16 seconds. Guidance internal.
T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two...
Whoo!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my goodness me!
[woman] There's the tail.
Wow!
[woman] What a launch.
We are on our way to max Q,
the first milestone here on its flight to space.
[Powers] Oh, my God.
[Shatner] That's it.
I got it.
-[thud] -[Powers] Ooh.
[Powers] Oh, my God.
That was no simulation.
[gasps]
Oh, my God. [gasps]
[Shatner] Holy cow.
[gasps]
[chuckles]
Oh, my...
Is this wild?
Weightlessness.
Oh, Jesus.
Oh, egads.
[de Vries] Kármán line.
[Shatner] Weightlessness.
[Powers] This is nuts!
Oh, my God.
Oh, wow.
Nothing, no description can equal this.
Oh, my God.
-That's so cool. -That's so cool.
[man] New Shepard crew, this is your one-minute warning.
[alarm beeping]
-[Powers] You good, Bill? -I'm good.
-Got your waist? -Oh, yeah.
-Cinched in? -Oh, my God.
-Whoo! -[chuckles]
What an incredible experience that was.
[thud]
[woman] There go the drogue parachutes.
And here come the mains.
How about that, guys?
That was unlike anything they described.
[laughs]
[woman] Ooh, what a flight.
[laughs]
[man] Standby touchdown.
-Oh! -[laughs]
Wow, look at those. Look at those chutes.
[Boshuizen] Oh, my God.
[woman] And capsule touchdown.
Welcome back, the newest astronauts.
What a day for you. Welcome back.
Oh, guys.
[exhales] Yeah.
[Bezos] Hello, astronauts.
[cheering and applause]
Bill!
[cheering and applause]
Holy...
[cheering and applause]
[stammers]
-Well? -Well, it's... it's...
In a way, it's indescribable.
[laughs]
Hey!
I can't tell you what you have done.
Everybody in the world needs to do this.
Everybody in the world needs to see the, uh...
-Oh. -I'm still too...
Oh, my God.
What I saw, it was unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I mean, you know, the little things like weightlessness,
but to see the blue color go whip by you
and now you're staring into blackness,
that's the thing.
There is Mother Earth and comfort,
but what you see is black.
What you have given me
is the most profound experience I can imagine.
It's odd. I'm so filled with emotion about what just happened.
I just... It's extraordinary. Extraordinary.
Come here.
I hope I never recover from this.
I hope that I can maintain what I feel now.
I don't want to lose it.
[woman] The Star Trek legend, who can now truly say
he has boldly gone where so few have gone before.
[woman 2] At the age of 90, Bill Shatner made history yesterday
when he and three others shot off into space on that Blue Origin rocket,
an event watched all around the world.
[Bezos] Bill Shatner is not Captain Kirk.
Captain Kirk is this amazing fictional character
that inspired millions of people.
It turns out that Captain Kirk is an incredible character.
Bill Shatner is an incredible man.
And he became one of my heroes all over again.
But this time, it's the real man.
[gentle music playing]
[Shatner] Espresso.
Mac.
Come on, big boy.
[barks]
When I am not performing in one way or another,
I'm doing family, dogs, or horses.
That's my life.
My darling, how are you?
How's it going, big guy?
And they're very dear to me.
What do you say, big guy? Ooh, sorry about that.
Sorry about that, I didn't mean to hit you.
And I see the language that horses speak, that dogs speak.
Everything is speaking a language.
Everything is connected.
It is a... It is a knitting.
It is a shawl of life.
Come on. That a boy. That a boy.
And when one of those pieces of wool are plucked,
everything comes undone.
It leads to the destruction of everything.
What a good boy you are. What a good boy you are.
[horse neighs]
Oh, is that a friend of yours saying goodbye?
I mean, there's a mysterious beauty about space.
Up you go.
And you leave the Earth behind and there is space,
and it is black.
And then I pivoted back to Earth.
This beige-blue-white rock is what gives us life.
Come here, big boy.
[horse neighs]
Who's talking?
Everybody recognizes that the polluting we're doing on Earth
is destroying the Earth.
I was overwhelmed with sadness...
Come on, big boy. [clicks tongue]
...over the death of Earth.
I never felt that until now.
But we must have hope.
Without hope, what have we got?
And we've got hope
if we do something right away for that rock that gives us life.
There's hope.
