00:00:17,767 --> 00:00:23,773
[William Shatner] We live by a hair
in this tumultuous universe.

6
00:00:23,858 --> 00:00:29,112
I could die, and if I die,
what will I... what will I miss most?

7
00:00:29,196 --> 00:00:32,282
Who... who will I miss
and what will I miss most?

8
00:00:43,084 --> 00:00:45,670
-Godspeed, guys.
-[Audrey Powers] Thanks, Jeff.

9
00:00:49,966 --> 00:00:53,219
We have an anomaly
which is currently gaping escape enabled.

10
00:00:53,304 --> 00:00:56,015
Potentially not something we can fly with.

11
00:00:56,973 --> 00:00:58,934
[man]
At this time we've got a component

12
00:00:59,018 --> 00:01:02,354
that our engineering back room
is a little concerned about.

13
00:01:02,438 --> 00:01:04,105
They are taking a hard look at it.

14
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:05,899
Oh, boy.

15
00:01:05,982 --> 00:01:07,526
What was that?

16
00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:11,363
So the engineering room
is looking at a component

17
00:01:11,446 --> 00:01:14,408
that seems to be off-nominal
that they don't like.

18
00:01:14,491 --> 00:01:15,993
I heard that.
They didn't like what they saw.

19
00:01:16,075 --> 00:01:19,330
Yeah, so they're trying to figure out
if they can recover it

20
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,624
and we can fly
or if we have to scrub.

21
00:01:21,706 --> 00:01:24,042
Are you kidding?

22
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:30,925
[inspirational music playing]

23
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:15,802
[Shatner]
I am an actor.

24
00:02:15,886 --> 00:02:17,929
I've been an actor
since I was six years old.

25
00:02:18,012 --> 00:02:23,852
Whether it's writing, directing,
acting, producing, it's my way of life.

26
00:02:23,935 --> 00:02:27,689
-Would you wake up, please, honey?
-What are you looking at?

27
00:02:27,773 --> 00:02:32,027
Gremlins. He jumps away
whenever anyone might see him.

28
00:02:32,111 --> 00:02:35,990
[Shatner] You might know me
as Captain Kirk on Star Trek.

29
00:02:36,072 --> 00:02:37,283
Beam me up.

30
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:38,367
[Shatner]
What an extraordinary thing

31
00:02:38,450 --> 00:02:40,994
to be part of
a show business phenomenon.

32
00:02:41,077 --> 00:02:45,456
I'm astonished not only by
the number of fans, but the passion.

33
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:51,588
There is an adventure in my life
that I would not have had

34
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:53,756
had I not played the role.

35
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,719
And it's only by being jeopardized

36
00:02:56,802 --> 00:03:00,221
do you have a real taste
of what it's like to be alive.

37
00:03:01,223 --> 00:03:04,684
Once again, we've saved
civilization as we know it.

38
00:03:04,767 --> 00:03:08,480
So I have a kind of story to tell you.

39
00:03:08,564 --> 00:03:11,357
I'm really gonna go into space,
I think.

40
00:03:11,441 --> 00:03:17,447
I mean, there's a romance,
a beauty, a mysterious beauty about space

41
00:03:17,530 --> 00:03:19,700
that I'd like to take a look at.

42
00:03:27,290 --> 00:03:31,587
[Shatner] What led to this moment
was my fortuitous meeting with Jeff Bezos.

43
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:41,512
Jeff. Come to make an entrance.

44
00:03:41,596 --> 00:03:43,349
-[Jeff Bezos] How are you?
-I'm so good.

45
00:03:43,432 --> 00:03:44,475
-Yourself?
-Good.

46
00:03:44,557 --> 00:03:45,850
[both chuckle]

47
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:48,729
The company is working on New Shepard.
It's a tourism vehicle.

48
00:03:48,812 --> 00:03:49,646
Right.

49
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:53,107
That's the one that, like,
Alan Shepard did. It's called suborbital.

50
00:03:53,191 --> 00:03:55,194
-You go straight up, you go into space.
-Right, the one we just saw.

51
00:03:55,277 --> 00:03:56,945
Yeah, you're in space
for about four minutes.

52
00:03:57,028 --> 00:04:00,532
-And you're building them now? Here?
-Yeah. We haven't put people in yet.

53
00:04:01,659 --> 00:04:05,578
I had only read about Jeff Bezos

54
00:04:05,663 --> 00:04:07,872
and the richest man
and all that kind of thing.

55
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:09,333
-Is this one in the making?
-Yes.

56
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:11,042
[Shatner]
I had no idea.

57
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:14,588
I thought the guy started Amazon
and he thought, "Well, I'm a rich man.

58
00:04:14,672 --> 00:04:17,340
What do I wanna do next?
I'll go into space."

59
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:20,427
Little did I know that
he'd had this dream all his life.

60
00:04:20,511 --> 00:04:22,470
[Bezos]
So I think it's important.

61
00:04:22,554 --> 00:04:27,225
I think building the infrastructure
so that humans can go to space

62
00:04:27,309 --> 00:04:30,478
safely and inexpensively
is actually gonna be important

63
00:04:30,562 --> 00:04:32,439
for our grandchildren
and their grandchildren.

64
00:04:32,523 --> 00:04:36,401
Your objective is to build large vehicles

65
00:04:36,485 --> 00:04:38,696
to do the heavy lifting
that's done on Earth,

66
00:04:38,778 --> 00:04:40,114
-the polluting and all that kind of thing.
-That's it.

67
00:04:40,196 --> 00:04:41,740
-Do it up there.
-You got it.

68
00:04:41,824 --> 00:04:43,992
-And keep the green...
-Keep Earth clean.

69
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:46,494
-Boy, I could get behind that.
-That's what we're trying to do.

70
00:04:46,578 --> 00:04:47,578
-I can get on that.
-And it's not gonna be easy.

71
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:53,585
Jeff Bezos' concept
that all these polluting industries

72
00:04:53,668 --> 00:04:56,713
could be moved into orbit

73
00:04:56,797 --> 00:04:59,425
and to make pollution a thing of the past,

74
00:04:59,508 --> 00:05:03,886
I mean, what noble ambitions those are
and somebody has to start it.

75
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:05,430
This is the crew capsule.

76
00:05:05,514 --> 00:05:08,266
So this is a little simulation
of what it will be like.

77
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:09,184
Okay.

78
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:12,521
[engines roaring]

79
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:13,646
Wow.

80
00:05:15,273 --> 00:05:16,275
Holy...

81
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,865
Okay, I... I, um...
I can't go any further.

82
00:05:22,947 --> 00:05:26,285
[laughs]
Turn around.

83
00:05:26,367 --> 00:05:28,328
-Jeff!
-[laughs]

84
00:05:28,412 --> 00:05:31,581
I'll go. I'll go, Jeff. I'll go. Wow.

85
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:35,252
-You haven't been up there yet?
-No, not yet.

86
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:37,588
-Are you gonna go up first?
-Yes. Well, I'm definitely going up.

87
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,465
I'm gonna just go as so soon as I can.
I can't wait.

88
00:05:40,548 --> 00:05:41,925
Are you gonna come?

89
00:05:42,009 --> 00:05:43,509
If every...

90
00:05:43,593 --> 00:05:45,345
[both laugh]

91
00:05:45,429 --> 00:05:47,264
If everything is worked out,
absolutely.

92
00:05:47,346 --> 00:05:48,182
-Yeah.
-Yeah.

93
00:05:48,264 --> 00:05:50,684
Captain Kirk affected all these people.

94
00:05:50,768 --> 00:05:53,394
-All of them, one degree or another.
-Yeah.

95
00:05:53,478 --> 00:05:56,773
The sense of exploration,
the humanity of it is what we need.

96
00:05:56,857 --> 00:05:59,109
-Yeah.
-And I really feel that.

97
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:06,199
You know, if you follow Bezos' idea,
even just to be an observer,

98
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:09,035
it's like a fairy tale, really.

99
00:06:16,460 --> 00:06:18,420
[Bezos]
On my grandfather's ranch

100
00:06:18,504 --> 00:06:21,965
just outside of this little town
in South Texas called Cotulla,

101
00:06:22,048 --> 00:06:25,384
they had a small public library

102
00:06:25,468 --> 00:06:28,679
and one of the fellows in town
had donated

103
00:06:28,764 --> 00:06:31,641
his entire science-fiction collection
to that library

104
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,434
and over the course of a few summers,

105
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:37,605
I just worked my way
through all the classics:

106
00:06:37,689 --> 00:06:41,067
Asimov and Heinlein and so on and so on.

107
00:06:45,114 --> 00:06:49,785
In third or fourth grade,
I came across this show called Star Trek.

108
00:06:49,867 --> 00:06:51,537
It had a big impact on me.

109
00:06:51,619 --> 00:06:56,458
Star Trek
is this incredible future utopia.

110
00:06:56,542 --> 00:07:00,129
It made a bunch of people wanna help
try to invent that future.

111
00:07:02,631 --> 00:07:04,049
It certainly did me.

112
00:07:05,091 --> 00:07:09,220
And since I was a teenager,
I've been focused on going to space

113
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:10,555
in order to save the Earth.

114
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:12,391
I really believe that's essential.

115
00:07:12,516 --> 00:07:16,227
I don't think it's a question.
I think it's 100% needs to happen.

116
00:07:17,396 --> 00:07:20,523
That's what Blue Origin is working on.
That will change everything.

117
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,901
And I've always expected it to take time.

118
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:26,737
[rock music playing]

119
00:07:26,821 --> 00:07:31,201
Every single day you think to yourself,
"Ah, this is just impossible."

120
00:07:33,537 --> 00:07:37,081
What you have to do is be stubborn
on the vision and flexible on the details.

121
00:07:38,749 --> 00:07:41,170
That's how you build a road to space.

122
00:07:41,252 --> 00:07:45,090
Space travel and rocket science,
people know that it's hard.

123
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:48,218
But it's also true
that it's a solved problem.

124
00:07:48,302 --> 00:07:51,679
The hard part is real reusability.

125
00:07:51,763 --> 00:07:53,557
Jeff Bezos ready for liftoff.

126
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:55,766
Bezos realized the dream he's had
since a child.

127
00:07:55,850 --> 00:08:00,146
[man]
T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven,

128
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:05,694
six, five, four,
command engine start, two, one.

129
00:08:05,776 --> 00:08:07,821
-[engines roar]
- Ignition.

130
00:08:11,824 --> 00:08:14,994
[woman]
And New Shepard has cleared the tower,

131
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:18,706
on her way to space
with our first human crew.

132
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:19,624
Okay.

133
00:08:19,708 --> 00:08:20,708
Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

134
00:08:20,792 --> 00:08:24,129
[Bezos] For me, the experience
has completely changed me.

135
00:08:24,212 --> 00:08:26,047
-Whoo!
-[laughs]

136
00:08:26,130 --> 00:08:27,382
Hi, Mom!

137
00:08:28,884 --> 00:08:30,760
[man]
Welcome back, astronaut!

138
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:32,845
[cheering]

139
00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:35,765
So, Morgan, this is the first
of what they hope will be

140
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,725
many Blue Origin launches, right?

141
00:08:37,808 --> 00:08:39,686
Yeah, Kate, Blue Origin
says they have plans in place

142
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:41,647
to have two more flights this year.

143
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:43,065
If everything goes according to plan,

144
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:46,401
those flights should be happening
in September or this October.

145
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:52,490
[wind chimes tinkling]

146
00:08:55,451 --> 00:08:56,827
-Hello.
-Hi, Papa.

147
00:08:56,912 --> 00:08:59,081
-[Shatner] Hi, my darling.
-You look nice.

148
00:08:59,163 --> 00:09:01,999
Girls, come and sit down.
I have something to tell you.

149
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:03,835
[Melanie Shatner]
Okay, that sounds ominous.

150
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:09,048
Girls, your father,
your husband...

151
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:11,634
is going to go into space.

152
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:18,975
Wait, wait.

153
00:09:20,351 --> 00:09:21,186
Time out.

154
00:09:21,269 --> 00:09:24,273
So what is this?
You're going up where and for how long?

155
00:09:24,355 --> 00:09:26,608
300,000 feet.

156
00:09:27,776 --> 00:09:29,443
Weightlessness in space.

157
00:09:29,528 --> 00:09:33,824
They've invited me and I think
it's something I want to do.

158
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,116
I think.

159
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,326
-[Melanie Shatner] Are you scared?
-Yeah.

160
00:09:37,411 --> 00:09:38,869
That bothers me more than anything

161
00:09:38,953 --> 00:09:41,289
'cause I don't like to think of you
as feeling badly.

162
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:44,167
I get why you'd want to do it.
I mean, it does sound kind of cool.

163
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,961
Imagine being part of it
in some small way.

164
00:09:47,044 --> 00:09:48,212
-[Leslie Shatner] That's very cool.
-Being part of it.

165
00:09:48,297 --> 00:09:50,132
[Leslie Shatner]
I agree the coolness factor's extreme,

166
00:09:50,215 --> 00:09:53,051
but the safety factor's also extreme.

167
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:56,220
I just think that you should make sure
your body can handle that kind of stress.

168
00:09:56,305 --> 00:09:57,681
[Italian accent]
You're talkin' to me here.

169
00:09:57,764 --> 00:09:59,140
[Elizabeth Shatner]
I agree with the girls.

170
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:00,475
[Leslie Shatner]
Is there an astronaut or somebody?

171
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:04,062
No. It's a counterpoint to Star Trek.

172
00:10:04,145 --> 00:10:05,605
[British accent]
"And now Captain Davis."

173
00:10:05,688 --> 00:10:07,816
"Yes, Captain Davis here,
going into space, sir."

174
00:10:07,898 --> 00:10:11,861
-This is not very reassuring.
-Yeah, I don't mean to reassure you.

175
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,363
[laughter]

176
00:10:15,948 --> 00:10:17,908
Am I nervous?

177
00:10:17,993 --> 00:10:18,994
Well...

178
00:10:20,369 --> 00:10:21,996
You know, I am.

179
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,124
I'm going up into space.

180
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:29,296
I don't know how many people
who can say that who are now alive.

181
00:10:30,672 --> 00:10:33,049
I've seen that tank-like vehicle

182
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:35,844
that moves the rockets
out to the launching pad.

183
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:39,472
And I've seen them connect
and the steam comes...

184
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:41,390
[music playing in background]

185
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:44,769
♪ And another thing I want to say ♪

186
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:47,813
♪ Is though I am... ♪

187
00:10:47,898 --> 00:10:49,316
Is that weird?

188
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:52,235
That's what I'm afraid
is gonna happen on launch.

189
00:10:53,278 --> 00:10:54,446
Star Trek 's Captain Kirk.

190
00:10:54,528 --> 00:10:58,115
Star Trek 's Captain Kirk getting
the chance to touch the final frontier.

191
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,826
I'm freaked out, man.

192
00:10:59,909 --> 00:11:02,788
[Anderson Cooper] I love how you announced
this to the world with a tweet.

193
00:11:02,870 --> 00:11:05,289
You said, "So now I can say something.
Yes, it's true.

194
00:11:05,414 --> 00:11:06,874
I'm going to be a rocket man."

195
00:11:06,957 --> 00:11:10,629
Remember, I mean, Shatner is the guy
who famously said, "Beam me up, Scotty."

196
00:11:10,711 --> 00:11:12,630
Get out as many of his catchphrases
as he can.

197
00:11:12,714 --> 00:11:15,384
[Cooper] Have you ever thought about
actually being able to go up into space?

198
00:11:15,466 --> 00:11:20,013
No, I mean...
I'm so sorry to...

199
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:23,517
to bring you down to Earth,
to use a phrase.

200
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,729
-It was all pretend, you see.
-[laughs]

201
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:36,488
-Oh, my God, he's going into space.
-Wow.

202
00:11:36,571 --> 00:11:38,280
Are you kidding me?
This is awesome.

203
00:11:38,365 --> 00:11:40,866
He's gonna be actually flying
into outer space.

204
00:11:40,951 --> 00:11:43,744
What he has given the world
as a cultural phenomenon

205
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:45,621
with Star Trek is incredible,

206
00:11:45,871 --> 00:11:49,334
that he should have a little bit of
that adventure for himself is beautiful.

207
00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:52,796
I'm just gonna give a bright hope that
one day we're gonna be a spacefaring race.

208
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,549
Finally to see him, like,
really in space in reality,

209
00:11:56,633 --> 00:12:00,345
it's, like, a pinnacle thing
for many people to see.

210
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:01,470
It's just incredible.

211
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:04,014
It's Shatner's turn. Why not?

212
00:12:04,099 --> 00:12:07,018
And if something goes horribly wrong,
he'll go out in a blaze of glory.

213
00:12:07,101 --> 00:12:09,855
[man] William Shatner, God bless.
All right, be safe.

214
00:12:09,937 --> 00:12:11,648
Thank you, thank you.

215
00:12:14,401 --> 00:12:16,695
[man] Bill created something
that gave a hope to a lot of people.

216
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:19,281
It created a safe space
no matter what you were going through

217
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:24,369
and he may not realize it, you know,
but it gave people the strength to go on

218
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:26,120
when they were having
a lot of rough times.

219
00:12:26,203 --> 00:12:27,496
I know it did for me, you know.

220
00:12:27,581 --> 00:12:32,461
When they said, "Would you like to go
to space? And you're Captain Kirk..."

221
00:12:32,543 --> 00:12:34,921
Oh, yeah,
that was a long time ago.

222
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,883
And I thought, you know, "Who cares?"

223
00:12:37,965 --> 00:12:41,385
Thank you for creating something
that gave hope to a lot of people.

224
00:12:41,470 --> 00:12:43,638
-[Shatner] But in my...
-Have a wonderful day.

225
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:48,643
...years with Star Trek having played
the role of Captain Kirk,

226
00:12:48,726 --> 00:12:53,856
it's life-changing in its way
for so many people.

227
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:03,616
There's a great deal of curiosity
about this fictional character,

228
00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:09,080
Captain Kirk, going into space,
but I am an actor that played the role.

229
00:13:12,249 --> 00:13:16,004
I mean, we think
of the astronauts as supermen,

230
00:13:16,086 --> 00:13:20,799
but they're just human beings
filled with the same fears that I have.

231
00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:29,308
I have noted
the passage of the Enterprise

232
00:13:29,392 --> 00:13:31,937
on its way to whatever awaits it.

233
00:13:33,772 --> 00:13:35,606
The finest starship in the fleet.

234
00:13:36,273 --> 00:13:40,986
[Shatner] And that's the question
I'm having prior to this leap into space.

235
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:43,280
Will it work?

236
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:55,543
[inspirational music playing]

237
00:14:07,514 --> 00:14:11,433
After Star Trek ,
the show was cancelled

238
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:14,479
and my marriage fell apart.

239
00:14:14,562 --> 00:14:15,980
I was essentially broke.

240
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:20,860
But in order to save some money,

241
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:25,030
I bought a used truck and I put a cab
on the back of the pickup truck.

242
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:28,118
I used it as living quarters for months.

243
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:33,789
And I'm in my truck in a pasture

244
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:37,085
and I'm lying in this camper,

245
00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:40,212
looking through a window up at the moon.

246
00:14:41,547 --> 00:14:43,924
[man]
And we're getting a picture on the TV.

247
00:14:44,009 --> 00:14:48,345
I've got a little 4x4
black-and-white television

248
00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:53,560
and I'm looking at the
astronauts stepping on the moon.

249
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:55,519
[man 2]
How is the quality of the TV?

250
00:14:55,604 --> 00:14:56,437
[Shatner] And there we were...

251
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,355
[man]
Really good.

252
00:14:57,438 --> 00:14:58,273
[Shatner]
...walking on it.

253
00:15:00,358 --> 00:15:01,985
[man 2] Oh, jeez, that's great.
Is the lighting halfway decent?

254
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,570
[Shatner]
The most glorious moment...

255
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:05,363
[man] Yes, indeed,
they've got the flag up now.

256
00:15:05,446 --> 00:15:07,615
[Shatner]
...of mankind,

257
00:15:07,698 --> 00:15:12,537
and there I am,
looking at their glory in my misery.

258
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:16,749
Still, that moment stays with me

259
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:20,669
when I think of the glory of space.

260
00:15:27,384 --> 00:15:32,389
The continuity of that is, here I am,

261
00:15:32,474 --> 00:15:36,436
55 years later...

262
00:15:36,518 --> 00:15:38,562
about to go into space.

263
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:44,735
I wanted to feel the essence of space

264
00:15:44,818 --> 00:15:47,071
and see what weightlessness was.

265
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:50,575
And then I picture myself

266
00:15:50,658 --> 00:15:55,538
looking down at Earth,

267
00:15:55,621 --> 00:15:56,623
the blue orb.

268
00:15:59,917 --> 00:16:02,003
Come right around here.

269
00:16:02,086 --> 00:16:05,590
-And then right down here.
-"Light this candle." Who said it?

270
00:16:05,673 --> 00:16:06,674
-Alan Shepard.
-That's right.

271
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:10,010
He said, "Let's light this candle."
-Oh, let's light this candle.

272
00:16:10,095 --> 00:16:12,471
And that's what you're gonna be feeling
when you're sitting in that capsule.

273
00:16:12,555 --> 00:16:15,057
-Oh, let's light this candle.
-You're like, "Let's light this candle."

274
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:19,354
Oh, I wanted it to be at rocket.
Let's light this rocket.

275
00:16:25,151 --> 00:16:28,571
These are quality people
you rarely meet in life,

276
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,157
the kind of people we're meeting here,

277
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,827
especially these astronauts
on the journey with me.

278
00:16:35,828 --> 00:16:37,663
[man]
They're very excited to meet you.

279
00:16:37,746 --> 00:16:39,374
-Hey.
-[Shatner] And I'm excited.

280
00:16:39,456 --> 00:16:40,834
-Hey, Bill, how are you?
-Nice to see you.

281
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:41,750
Good to see you in person.

282
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:45,046
I watched the original Star Trek series
on TV.

283
00:16:45,129 --> 00:16:49,134
I watched every movie.
I have been to Star Trek conventions.

284
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:52,595
And we are gonna be doing something
that is science fiction

285
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:55,640
and it's going to become fact.

286
00:16:56,891 --> 00:17:01,229
I've always loved just the peaceful future
that Star Trek represented,

287
00:17:01,311 --> 00:17:02,980
and I think it's a future
we can aspire for

288
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:04,356
and as a species evolved towards.

289
00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:08,944
I think William Shatner
is the best possible co-passenger

290
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:10,070
I could have for this flight.

291
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:15,701
[indistinct chatter]

292
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:18,538
-Hello, sir.
-[Shatner] Hello.

293
00:17:18,621 --> 00:17:20,832
[laughter]

294
00:17:20,914 --> 00:17:22,916
Hi. I'm glad you're here.

295
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,501
-I'm glad to be here.
-I'm glad you're here.

296
00:17:24,586 --> 00:17:26,462
-Thank you. Thank you.
-We're complete now.

297
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:27,756
-Yes, well...
-You ready?

298
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:28,964
Yeah, I'm so ready.

299
00:17:29,047 --> 00:17:31,718
[Powers]
I think I reached a certain age

300
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,013
and I had given up on the idea
that I would go to space.

301
00:17:36,096 --> 00:17:41,894
I felt very fortunate to have worked
as an engineer at NASA.

302
00:17:41,978 --> 00:17:46,106
I always just felt really lucky
to be enabling other people to go,

303
00:17:46,191 --> 00:17:48,942
scientists and professional astronauts.

304
00:17:49,027 --> 00:17:51,069
I was fine with that,
so maybe that makes all of this

305
00:17:51,153 --> 00:17:55,784
a little bit more hard
to wrap my brain around, you know?

306
00:17:55,866 --> 00:17:57,868
-To our adventure.
-To our adventure.

307
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:03,958
[laughter]

308
00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:04,959
[Powers] Cheers.

309
00:18:05,043 --> 00:18:06,251
[laughter]

310
00:18:06,336 --> 00:18:09,588
This was my Halloween costume
a couple years ago.

311
00:18:09,672 --> 00:18:13,134
[laughs]

312
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:17,137
It's great. That's wild.
That is so crazy.

313
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,641
[laughter]

314
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:24,394
[Bezos] Do we have some
prospective astronauts here?

315
00:18:24,479 --> 00:18:28,149
[laughs] Jeff, every time I see you,
your arms are getting bigger.

316
00:18:28,232 --> 00:18:30,527
[laughs] Well, thank you.
I've been working hard.

317
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:32,820
-Yeah, I mean, you're working hard.
-Well, you're my role model.

318
00:18:32,903 --> 00:18:34,239
-Well...
-Seriously.

319
00:18:34,322 --> 00:18:35,698
-Really?
-No doubt.

320
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,075
-Okay.
-Not even close.

321
00:18:37,157 --> 00:18:42,121
[Shatner] I didn't know Jeff at all,
only what I read, when I first met him.

322
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:45,208
The more I talked to him,
the more I felt

323
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:48,169
a warmth towards him
that was unusual for me,

324
00:18:48,252 --> 00:18:50,547
and I felt I had made a new friend.

325
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:53,967
So I have a favor to ask of you.

326
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:55,718
Let me show you something.

327
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,345
-So...
-Except sign something. I can't sign.

328
00:18:58,429 --> 00:19:00,097
-You don't need to sign anything.
-[laughs]

329
00:19:00,181 --> 00:19:01,891
So, this...

330
00:19:03,852 --> 00:19:07,939
It's something that my mother has saved.

331
00:19:08,021 --> 00:19:10,816
So in fourth grade,
I made these.

332
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:12,986
And so she went and dug around
and found these.

333
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:14,278
Are you serious?

334
00:19:14,362 --> 00:19:17,155
And this is a medical tricorder.

335
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,241
-This...
-[imitates tricorder]

336
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:20,826
[laughter]

337
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,245
This is a communicator.

338
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:24,747
Oh, my God. Jeff.

339
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:29,836
And this is one
of Spock's science tricorders.

340
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:31,461
That's hysterical, man.

341
00:19:31,546 --> 00:19:34,507
And we would make...
These are just the surviving ones.

342
00:19:34,591 --> 00:19:37,634
-We had dozens of these things and...
-And you played with these?

343
00:19:37,719 --> 00:19:42,015
We played. In fourth grade,
me and my friends, Dean and Kyle,

344
00:19:42,097 --> 00:19:46,393
the three of us played Star Trek
all summer long.

345
00:19:46,477 --> 00:19:50,815
The favor I want is to ask you if you
would carry these up into space for me.

346
00:19:50,899 --> 00:19:51,900
What a great idea.

347
00:19:51,982 --> 00:19:55,236
So that I can say
these have been into space

348
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:58,448
with my friend Bill Shatner.

349
00:19:58,530 --> 00:20:00,032
I'll take them up.
I'll absolutely take them up.

350
00:20:00,115 --> 00:20:01,617
[Bezos] Thank you.

351
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:11,210
Tell me about this land

352
00:20:11,461 --> 00:20:17,467
and how the concept
went from horses to rockets

353
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:19,384
or from rockets to horses.

354
00:20:19,469 --> 00:20:23,263
So I grew up spending all my summers
on my grandfather's ranch

355
00:20:23,347 --> 00:20:26,099
-in South Texas from age 4 to 16.
-Oh, really?

356
00:20:26,267 --> 00:20:28,894
[Bezos]
I've always liked Texas.

357
00:20:28,978 --> 00:20:33,732
I've always liked ranch, ranching,
and so,

358
00:20:33,816 --> 00:20:37,737
20 years ago,
I started looking for a ranch

359
00:20:37,819 --> 00:20:41,824
that I could have as a place
as a base of operations for Blue Origin.

360
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,867
And you had Blue Origin in mind
when you were looking for a ranch?

361
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:45,702
Yes, it was just starting. Uh-huh.

362
00:20:45,787 --> 00:20:51,334
A place where I could bring my kids
and ride horses

363
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:55,212
and come to Thanksgiving and hike,

364
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:58,216
and combine that
with Blue Origin's base of operations.

365
00:20:58,298 --> 00:20:59,133
Wow.

366
00:20:59,217 --> 00:21:02,679
When you talk about space travel
and especially human space travel,

367
00:21:02,761 --> 00:21:04,596
this is the barnstorming era.

368
00:21:07,976 --> 00:21:12,896
In the era of biplanes, barnstormers
would fly out to a farmer's field

369
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:16,108
and all the local people would come
and they'd pay a fee,

370
00:21:16,191 --> 00:21:18,193
and they'd get to go up in the air
for five minutes

371
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,863
and see everything from the air.

372
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:24,450
And that's what
suborbital tourism is too.

373
00:21:24,534 --> 00:21:27,286
It's the barnstorming era of rockets.

374
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:29,955
But what does it let you do?
It lets you practice.

375
00:21:30,038 --> 00:21:32,290
And everything we humans practice
we get good at.

376
00:21:32,374 --> 00:21:33,209
I love it.

377
00:21:33,291 --> 00:21:35,545
[Bezos] It would be impossible
in the barnstorming era

378
00:21:35,627 --> 00:21:40,591
to conceive of the 787 or the Airbus 380,
and that's what we are doing today.

379
00:21:40,674 --> 00:21:44,053
We're figuring out that path forward.

380
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:48,141
You know, you go back into the 1960s

381
00:21:48,223 --> 00:21:53,688
when this novel show came on the air
called Star Trek...

382
00:21:53,770 --> 00:21:54,980
Steady as she goes.

383
00:21:55,064 --> 00:22:00,444
[Bezos] ...and it showed us a world
of almost a utopia...

384
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:05,407
Where I come from,
size, shape, or color makes no difference.

385
00:22:05,490 --> 00:22:11,497
[Bezos] ...where people of all races
and all genders worked together.

386
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:14,750
It was an amazing, prescient thing.

387
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:18,755
I really believe that
the world moves forward

388
00:22:18,837 --> 00:22:20,131
with dreamers and builders.

389
00:22:20,213 --> 00:22:24,093
And the dreamers dream
and then the builders build.

390
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,595
And that's a big circle.

391
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,721
[Shatner]
That's exactly right.

392
00:22:31,517 --> 00:22:33,518
[crickets chirping]

393
00:22:36,396 --> 00:22:40,567
[Shatner] This is the first morning
that we are on our adventure

394
00:22:40,651 --> 00:22:44,489
and the sun is rising
and we're beginning our activities.

395
00:22:44,572 --> 00:22:46,907
[Sarah Knights] All right, astronauts,
I'm so excited you're here

396
00:22:46,990 --> 00:22:51,621
and to teach you everything that you need
to know over the next couple of days

397
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:53,205
to be able to fly to space.

398
00:22:53,288 --> 00:22:54,624
And that's real exciting.

399
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:55,540
Sit back.

400
00:22:55,624 --> 00:22:59,878
We've been working towards a school
ready to fly people to space,

401
00:22:59,961 --> 00:23:03,673
and that feels really exciting
to have that confidence

402
00:23:03,758 --> 00:23:06,469
in knowing that
we're gonna have a fantastic flight.

403
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:08,595
You can see sort of a summary
of the flight in the back

404
00:23:08,679 --> 00:23:10,013
that will take off.

405
00:23:10,097 --> 00:23:12,642
The crew capsule
will separate from the vehicle.

406
00:23:12,724 --> 00:23:14,018
[woman]
The engine will start

407
00:23:14,102 --> 00:23:16,770
and the rocket will lift off
of the launchpad.

408
00:23:16,854 --> 00:23:19,731
Twenty seconds later, the crew capsule
will separate from the booster

409
00:23:19,816 --> 00:23:23,528
and the astronauts can unharness
and enjoy zero-G.

410
00:23:23,611 --> 00:23:25,947
The crew capsule
will continue past the Kármán line

411
00:23:26,029 --> 00:23:29,450
to an ultimate apogee of 350,000 feet.

412
00:23:30,492 --> 00:23:32,828
Around three and a half minutes
after separation,

413
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:36,082
the crew capsule will begin
to re-enter the atmosphere.

414
00:23:36,164 --> 00:23:40,001
Parachutes will deploy, providing
a nice, slow descent back to Earth.

415
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:47,926
[Knights] So this is our trainer
that we're gonna get you inside.

416
00:23:48,009 --> 00:23:50,345
This is the moment when
you find out what seat you're in.

417
00:23:52,056 --> 00:23:54,267
[Shatner]
We're just at the beginning,

418
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:58,311
but how extraordinary it is
to be part of that beginning.

419
00:23:58,395 --> 00:23:59,730
What an adventure.

420
00:23:59,814 --> 00:24:01,774
Come in, Astronaut Shatner.

421
00:24:01,857 --> 00:24:03,901
A-okay.

422
00:24:03,984 --> 00:24:06,069
[Glen de Vries]
I'm getting very excited by this exercise.

423
00:24:06,153 --> 00:24:07,572
Yeah, me too.

424
00:24:07,654 --> 00:24:10,240
I'm really...
I'm really feeling it.

425
00:24:11,241 --> 00:24:13,952
[de Vries]
Since I was a kid, I always loved science,

426
00:24:14,036 --> 00:24:18,207
absorbing every book
about spaceships, astronomy,

427
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,291
just could not stop.

428
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:23,796
Now finally, I can have the privilege
of indulging in an adventure

429
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,382
in a way that I just never thought
would actually happen.

430
00:24:26,464 --> 00:24:28,968
Three, two, one.

431
00:24:29,050 --> 00:24:30,469
-Engine start.
-[engine starts]

432
00:24:33,471 --> 00:24:36,392
Liftoff. New Shepard
is clear of the tower.

433
00:24:36,474 --> 00:24:38,643
[Powers]
New Shepard is an autonomous vehicle.

434
00:24:38,728 --> 00:24:42,230
That means that
there is no human pilot on board.

435
00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:44,983
[Shatner]
You know, we're not pulling any switches

436
00:24:45,066 --> 00:24:48,695
except get out of the seat
in weightlessness.

437
00:24:48,778 --> 00:24:50,780
[thud]

438
00:24:50,865 --> 00:24:53,159
-[cheering]
-We're in space!

439
00:24:53,241 --> 00:24:55,452
-[Powers] Bill, you're in space!
-So good.

440
00:24:55,536 --> 00:24:57,246
-Look at that thing floating around.
-[Powers] Bill, you're in space.

441
00:24:57,329 --> 00:24:59,123
[Boshuizen]
Look at Audrey's hair. It's crazy.

442
00:24:59,207 --> 00:25:01,374
[Powers]
I cannot wait to see the view.

443
00:25:01,459 --> 00:25:05,503
Think about how amazing
this is going to be when we see this

444
00:25:05,587 --> 00:25:07,088
and when we experience this.

445
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:09,842
[Dr. Chris Boshuizen] I've loved space
my entire life and, you know,

446
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:13,429
I actually brought an astronaut Lego
with me to fly in my duffel bag,

447
00:25:13,554 --> 00:25:16,848
little yellow guy,
classic 1980s Lego astronaut.

448
00:25:16,932 --> 00:25:20,603
It represents my childhood
and my dreams of traveling.

449
00:25:22,063 --> 00:25:24,272
You're a great actor.
Did anyone ever tell you that?

450
00:25:24,356 --> 00:25:25,191
[Powers]
You're a great actor.

451
00:25:25,274 --> 00:25:27,777
[de Vries] You really should think about
that from a career perspective, Bill.

452
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:29,653
[Shatner] "You're gonna be weightless."
What does that mean?

453
00:25:29,737 --> 00:25:33,824
I wanna go up there
without any prearranged ideas.

454
00:25:33,907 --> 00:25:36,451
I want it to happen to me
and let it happen.

455
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:45,252
We have our CAPCOM, Kevin Sproge,
here to give us a Mission Control update.

456
00:25:45,336 --> 00:25:49,673
So I have good news
and I have other news.

457
00:25:49,757 --> 00:25:54,053
Unfortunately, our weather forecast
has significantly degraded

458
00:25:54,135 --> 00:25:56,221
over the last 24 hours.

459
00:25:56,305 --> 00:25:59,599
And what we do
is based on our wind prediction.

460
00:25:59,683 --> 00:26:02,560
We actually have our guidance,
navigation, and control engineers

461
00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:05,730
run a prediction
of where the capsule is gonna land

462
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:06,816
and our prediction this morning

463
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:09,359
indicates the capsule is gonna land
in an unsafe area

464
00:26:09,442 --> 00:26:10,903
'cause the winds are so strong.

465
00:26:10,987 --> 00:26:13,948
Not just surface winds,
it's all the way up from jet stream.

466
00:26:14,030 --> 00:26:16,284
And then we have really bad wind shear
at 10,000 feet

467
00:26:16,366 --> 00:26:18,201
all the way down
to strong surface winds.

468
00:26:18,286 --> 00:26:22,248
So based on that,
we're gonna delay the launch for one day.

469
00:26:24,666 --> 00:26:27,420
[Shatner] The universe
has taken care of me all my life.

470
00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:31,047
So these winds
are a signal from the universe.

471
00:26:32,299 --> 00:26:38,055
"Don't go, Bill.
The rocket is flawed. Don't go."

472
00:26:44,060 --> 00:26:45,980
[man] High winds in West Texas
have delayed the launch

473
00:26:46,063 --> 00:26:48,816
of the Jeff Bezos Blue Origin spaceship

474
00:26:48,899 --> 00:26:52,611
originally scheduled for tomorrow,
now slipping to Wednesday.

475
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:56,531
Hello and welcome.
Please start us off. How are you feeling?

476
00:26:56,615 --> 00:27:01,037
We've delayed 24 hours
because of the winds

477
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:06,875
and the enormous concern for our safety
and... [chuckles]

478
00:27:06,959 --> 00:27:09,502
We welcome that concern.

479
00:27:11,756 --> 00:27:14,174
[Knights] All right, astronauts,
what we'll do this morning

480
00:27:14,258 --> 00:27:18,554
is we're going to go out
and we're going to start with a tower tour

481
00:27:18,636 --> 00:27:21,807
and we're going to walk through
all of the movements

482
00:27:21,891 --> 00:27:25,978
that you're going to take tomorrow
when you fly to space.

483
00:27:27,730 --> 00:27:30,982
[Powers]
It's been very real this past week.

484
00:27:31,066 --> 00:27:34,319
I have been talking about this since
I was, like, five years old.

485
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:40,617
It's very...
It's very overwhelming, the whole thing.

486
00:27:41,911 --> 00:27:46,582
I think I've just been in kind of
a suspended disbelief the whole time.

487
00:27:46,664 --> 00:27:51,211
The idea that I'm actually gonna get
on top of a rocket in one day

488
00:27:51,295 --> 00:27:52,462
is just hard to fathom.

489
00:27:52,546 --> 00:27:53,547
[bell rings]

490
00:27:55,173 --> 00:27:56,717
[bell rings]

491
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,469
[woman]
You're 90 years old.

492
00:27:58,551 --> 00:28:01,971
They say that you will be
the oldest person going into space.

493
00:28:02,056 --> 00:28:03,516
Why did you want to do it?

494
00:28:03,598 --> 00:28:06,935
Because I wanted to claim
that I was the oldest person that went.

495
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:09,270
"He's the oldest guy
that went into space?"

496
00:28:09,355 --> 00:28:12,525
I wanna have the vision.
I wanna see space.

497
00:28:12,607 --> 00:28:13,858
I wanna see the Earth.

498
00:28:13,942 --> 00:28:17,278
I wanna see what
we need to do to save Earth.

499
00:28:17,363 --> 00:28:20,865
I wanna have a perspective
that hasn't been shown to me before.

500
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:24,202
That's what I'm interested in seeing.

501
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:28,124
-Hello.
-Hello, it's nice to meet you.

502
00:28:28,207 --> 00:28:29,916
How are you?
A pleasure to see you.

503
00:28:29,999 --> 00:28:31,251
Yeah.

504
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:34,505
I flew twice,
both on the Space Shuttle Atlantis

505
00:28:34,587 --> 00:28:36,923
and once to the Hubble Space Telescope

506
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:39,468
and once
to the International Space Station.

507
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:41,178
So I got to go
to two different destinations.

508
00:28:41,261 --> 00:28:42,680
Okay, you're the man I need to talk to.

509
00:28:42,762 --> 00:28:43,638
-Really?
-Yeah.

510
00:28:43,721 --> 00:28:48,978
What did you see
when you had time to look up?

511
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:52,690
So the first thing I saw
as I came out of the airlock

512
00:28:52,772 --> 00:28:54,900
and so I'm coming out
and I take that, you know,

513
00:28:54,983 --> 00:28:58,903
grab the handrail outside the airlock
and I pop my head out,

514
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:03,200
and I'm looking out the payload bay
at the Earth,

515
00:29:03,284 --> 00:29:05,618
the curvature of it, you know.

516
00:29:05,702 --> 00:29:07,788
It was... It was mind...

517
00:29:07,872 --> 00:29:08,705
Just awe.

518
00:29:08,788 --> 00:29:09,832
What did you say?

519
00:29:09,914 --> 00:29:11,916
I didn't say a word.
I stopped, though,

520
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,297
and I just sort of froze
and took it all in and I'm just like...

521
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:20,175
I think just that picture of Earth
just took my breath away.

522
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:22,094
-[Shatner] Wow.
-[Mike Good] Just so beautiful.

523
00:29:23,304 --> 00:29:26,265
William Shatner, astronaut.
How's the sound of that?

524
00:29:26,347 --> 00:29:28,476
A small... small "A."

525
00:29:28,558 --> 00:29:30,894
[laughter]

526
00:29:33,314 --> 00:29:39,319
It is kind of a big day for you tomorrow
and you're gonna go up into space

527
00:29:39,403 --> 00:29:42,865
for the first time,
and how are you feeling about that?

528
00:29:46,076 --> 00:29:49,288
Have you imagined your own death?

529
00:29:49,371 --> 00:29:52,790
-I've thought about it. I'm not...
-Are you terrified by it?

530
00:29:52,874 --> 00:29:56,086
No, I'm not.
I used to be, like, when I was younger.

531
00:29:56,170 --> 00:29:58,588
I used to be, you know,
more afraid of that.

532
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:01,383
As I've gotten a little bit older,
I've gotten less and less concerned.

533
00:30:01,467 --> 00:30:02,718
Less afraid of it.

534
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,597
Because there was a guy who,
when he died,

535
00:30:07,681 --> 00:30:12,268
took a deep breath and said,
"Of course."

536
00:30:12,353 --> 00:30:13,811
Mm.

537
00:30:13,895 --> 00:30:18,441
-And did he see everything?
-Mm.

538
00:30:18,526 --> 00:30:24,490
So tomorrow, does your heart
suddenly leap and say,

539
00:30:24,573 --> 00:30:27,367
-"I see... I see it"?
-Mm.

540
00:30:27,451 --> 00:30:29,953
Not the revelation, but I see the mystery.

541
00:30:30,037 --> 00:30:34,624
I'd love to just expand in weightlessness
and have that enlightenment.

542
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:36,710
[crickets chirping]

543
00:30:45,803 --> 00:30:47,805
[indistinct chatter]

544
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:52,058
I know that guy.

545
00:30:52,142 --> 00:30:55,479
Hey. [chuckles]

546
00:30:55,563 --> 00:30:57,064
Hello.

547
00:30:57,146 --> 00:30:58,774
Good to see you.

548
00:30:58,856 --> 00:30:59,691
Okay.

549
00:30:59,775 --> 00:31:01,402
[laughter]

550
00:31:01,484 --> 00:31:04,947
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
it is time.

551
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:08,116
We've got to get our astronauts
in the launch procedure.

552
00:31:09,201 --> 00:31:10,035
All right.

553
00:31:11,077 --> 00:31:12,371
[Shatner]
My family wanted to come.

554
00:31:12,453 --> 00:31:16,749
I told them stay away.
I'll telephone them when we're done.

555
00:31:16,834 --> 00:31:19,670
You know, there's a mixed message,
a hidden message.

556
00:31:19,752 --> 00:31:23,047
"If you don't come back, goodbye.
You know we love you."

557
00:31:23,132 --> 00:31:25,800
-Be good. CAPCOM, okay? [chuckles]
-Yeah.

558
00:31:27,678 --> 00:31:29,846
[Shatner]
It gives you a chance to rediscover

559
00:31:29,930 --> 00:31:32,849
how important family and friends are.

560
00:31:38,646 --> 00:31:40,231
-How you doing?
-Nice to see you.

561
00:31:40,316 --> 00:31:41,525
-You good?
-Yeah, so good.

562
00:31:41,608 --> 00:31:42,442
Yeah? Good.

563
00:31:42,526 --> 00:31:44,778
[Bezos] I just wanted to let you know
I just came from the training center.

564
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:47,615
You got four very happy astronauts
over there.

565
00:31:47,698 --> 00:31:50,284
They're incredibly excited.

566
00:31:50,366 --> 00:31:52,577
And I know they're in good hands
with you guys.

567
00:31:52,661 --> 00:31:56,164
So thank you very much for that
and Godspeed.

568
00:32:01,336 --> 00:32:03,422
[Shatner]
What's everybody doing?

569
00:32:03,505 --> 00:32:05,298
Trying to communicate with, uh...

570
00:32:05,382 --> 00:32:08,676
The last-minute communication?
Is that what you're doing?

571
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,678
[Boshuizen] Yeah.

572
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:10,887
What are you saying?

573
00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:13,515
That they should just relax
and everything's gonna be okay,

574
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:16,434
but they're not picking up the phone,
so they miss out. [laughs]

575
00:32:20,105 --> 00:32:22,106
[indistinct chatter]

576
00:32:29,198 --> 00:32:31,950
[people cheering]

577
00:32:37,205 --> 00:32:39,415
[cheering continues]

578
00:32:52,805 --> 00:32:55,682
[inspirational music playing]

579
00:32:55,766 --> 00:32:59,185
[Bezos] When you're up there
and you're looking out,

580
00:32:59,268 --> 00:33:03,272
you see this beautiful,

581
00:33:03,356 --> 00:33:07,111
vulnerable, blue planet.

582
00:33:07,193 --> 00:33:09,988
Remember, it's just our origin.

583
00:33:10,072 --> 00:33:14,076
And you guys are here at the beginning.

584
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:15,536
And this is how it starts.

585
00:33:17,621 --> 00:33:20,124
[woman] Thank everybody for joining us
live from West Texas

586
00:33:20,207 --> 00:33:21,749
here at our Launch Site One.

587
00:33:21,834 --> 00:33:26,380
We are T-minus 15 minutes to go here.
We are in a brief hold.

588
00:33:26,462 --> 00:33:29,799
Our four astronauts
are in the capsule and ready to go.

589
00:33:29,883 --> 00:33:31,634
Let's continue to watch New Shepard

590
00:33:31,719 --> 00:33:34,137
as she gets ready
for her flight to space this morning.

591
00:33:34,887 --> 00:33:36,890
[indistinct chatter]

592
00:33:41,729 --> 00:33:45,022
We have an anomaly which is
currently gaping escape enabled.

593
00:33:45,106 --> 00:33:48,234
Potentially not something we can fly with.

594
00:33:48,317 --> 00:33:52,280
We're giving the software folks
a few minutes to figure it out.

595
00:33:53,281 --> 00:33:56,034
If we can resolve it,
we'll proceed into the go pole.

596
00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:58,745
If we cannot, we will be scrubbing.

597
00:33:58,828 --> 00:33:59,662
[Powers] Oh, boy.

598
00:33:59,747 --> 00:34:02,082
Are you kidding?

599
00:34:12,341 --> 00:34:14,343
Flight, we're gonna
clear this one from the board.

600
00:34:14,428 --> 00:34:18,723
Detailed explanation from CC software.
They're comfortable moving forward.

601
00:34:18,807 --> 00:34:22,477
This should not impact any
performance or capabilities of the CC.

602
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,480
[man] First Step, this is Blue control,
I have good news.

603
00:34:25,564 --> 00:34:29,276
Just as I spoke, engineering has decided
we are good to go.

604
00:34:29,359 --> 00:34:32,154
And we'll be clearing
the hold here shortly.

605
00:34:32,236 --> 00:34:33,696
Oh, Jesus.

606
00:34:33,781 --> 00:34:35,198
[Powers] There we go.

607
00:34:35,281 --> 00:34:36,908
This is worse than takeoff.

608
00:34:36,991 --> 00:34:39,203
[Powers] They were just pulling your leg.
They were just pulling it.

609
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:41,622
They wanted to see
what your reaction would be, Bill.

610
00:34:41,705 --> 00:34:43,665
And booster. Clear the hole.

611
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:46,334
[woman] All right, everybody,
Chris Boshuizen, Glen de Vries,

612
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:47,419
Audrey Powers, and William Shatner

613
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:50,797
are about to go where
very few humans have gone before.

614
00:34:50,881 --> 00:34:53,466
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's time to launch this rocket.

615
00:34:53,549 --> 00:34:55,511
Godspeed, New Shepard.

616
00:34:56,470 --> 00:34:58,388
[man] T-minus 16 seconds.
Guidance internal.

617
00:34:58,471 --> 00:35:01,808
T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven,

618
00:35:01,892 --> 00:35:05,270
six, five, four,

619
00:35:05,354 --> 00:35:07,064
three, two...

620
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,243
Whoo!

621
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:23,747
Oh, my God!

622
00:35:23,830 --> 00:35:27,417
Oh, my goodness me!

623
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,171
[woman]
There's the tail.

624
00:35:46,060 --> 00:35:47,229
Wow!

625
00:35:51,066 --> 00:35:52,526
[woman]
What a launch.

626
00:35:52,609 --> 00:35:54,403
We are on our way to max Q,

627
00:35:54,486 --> 00:35:57,698
the first milestone here
on its flight to space.

628
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,868
[Powers]
Oh, my God.

629
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:03,245
[Shatner]
That's it.

630
00:36:04,370 --> 00:36:05,872
I got it.

631
00:36:05,955 --> 00:36:06,915
-[thud]
-[Powers] Ooh.

632
00:36:08,834 --> 00:36:10,586
[Powers]
Oh, my God.

633
00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:13,671
That was no simulation.

634
00:36:15,631 --> 00:36:16,966
[gasps]

635
00:36:17,049 --> 00:36:18,926
Oh, my God. [gasps]

636
00:36:19,011 --> 00:36:20,136
[Shatner]
Holy cow.

637
00:36:20,220 --> 00:36:21,053
[gasps]

638
00:36:21,138 --> 00:36:22,096
[chuckles]

639
00:36:24,933 --> 00:36:26,183
Oh, my...

640
00:36:27,810 --> 00:36:29,937
Is this wild?

641
00:36:30,022 --> 00:36:32,732
Weightlessness.

642
00:36:32,816 --> 00:36:35,276
Oh, Jesus.

643
00:36:37,779 --> 00:36:41,116
Oh, egads.

644
00:36:41,198 --> 00:36:42,241
[de Vries]
Kármán line.

645
00:36:42,325 --> 00:36:43,576
[Shatner]
Weightlessness.

646
00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:44,745
[Powers]
This is nuts!

647
00:36:44,828 --> 00:36:47,538
Oh, my God.

648
00:36:50,959 --> 00:36:53,044
Oh, wow.

649
00:36:55,796 --> 00:37:01,595
Nothing, no description can equal this.

650
00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:05,265
Oh, my God.

651
00:37:07,517 --> 00:37:09,393
-That's so cool.
-That's so cool.

652
00:37:24,700 --> 00:37:27,745
[man] New Shepard crew,
this is your one-minute warning.

653
00:37:27,828 --> 00:37:29,747
[alarm beeping]

654
00:37:34,544 --> 00:37:35,671
-[Powers] You good, Bill?
-I'm good.

655
00:37:35,754 --> 00:37:37,421
-Got your waist?
-Oh, yeah.

656
00:37:38,756 --> 00:37:40,926
-Cinched in?
-Oh, my God.

657
00:37:46,890 --> 00:37:48,015
-Whoo!
-[chuckles]

658
00:37:49,308 --> 00:37:52,395
What an incredible experience that was.

659
00:37:53,522 --> 00:37:54,647
[thud]

660
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:57,109
[woman]
There go the drogue parachutes.

661
00:37:57,192 --> 00:37:59,361
And here come the mains.

662
00:38:00,236 --> 00:38:02,321
How about that, guys?

663
00:38:02,406 --> 00:38:04,491
That was unlike anything they described.

664
00:38:04,573 --> 00:38:05,950
[laughs]

665
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:08,662
[woman]
Ooh, what a flight.

666
00:38:08,745 --> 00:38:09,997
[laughs]

667
00:38:13,875 --> 00:38:15,084
[man]
Standby touchdown.

668
00:38:15,167 --> 00:38:16,252
Standby touchdown.

669
00:38:17,254 --> 00:38:20,131
-Oh!
-[laughs]

670
00:38:21,341 --> 00:38:23,843
Wow, look at those.
Look at those chutes.

671
00:38:23,926 --> 00:38:24,845
[Boshuizen]
Oh, my God.

672
00:38:24,928 --> 00:38:27,346
[woman]
And capsule touchdown.

673
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:30,642
Welcome back, the newest astronauts.

674
00:38:30,725 --> 00:38:34,354
What a day for you.
Welcome back.

675
00:38:34,437 --> 00:38:36,439
Oh, guys.

676
00:38:38,274 --> 00:38:41,153
[exhales] Yeah.

677
00:38:42,236 --> 00:38:43,904
[Bezos]
Hello, astronauts.

678
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:49,618
[cheering and applause]

679
00:38:49,703 --> 00:38:50,578
Bill!

680
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:54,249
[cheering and applause]

681
00:38:58,252 --> 00:38:59,087
Holy...

682
00:38:59,171 --> 00:39:00,337
[cheering and applause]

683
00:39:00,421 --> 00:39:02,966
[stammers]

684
00:39:06,428 --> 00:39:09,221
-Well?
-Well, it's... it's...

685
00:39:09,305 --> 00:39:11,600
In a way, it's indescribable.

686
00:39:11,683 --> 00:39:13,977
[laughs]

687
00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,187
Hey!

688
00:39:17,189 --> 00:39:22,694
I can't tell you what you have done.

689
00:39:22,778 --> 00:39:27,783
Everybody in the world needs to do this.

690
00:39:29,366 --> 00:39:34,163
Everybody in the world
needs to see the, uh...

691
00:39:35,457 --> 00:39:36,665
-Oh.
-I'm still too...

692
00:39:36,750 --> 00:39:37,584
Oh, my God.

693
00:39:37,667 --> 00:39:41,462
What I saw, it was unbelievable.
Unbelievable.

694
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:45,841
I mean, you know,
the little things like weightlessness,

695
00:39:45,926 --> 00:39:49,513
but to see the blue color go whip by you

696
00:39:49,596 --> 00:39:51,932
and now you're staring into blackness,

697
00:39:52,098 --> 00:39:53,058
that's the thing.

698
00:39:53,140 --> 00:39:56,937
There is Mother Earth and comfort,

699
00:39:57,020 --> 00:40:00,482
but what you see is black.

700
00:40:00,564 --> 00:40:02,901
What you have given me

701
00:40:02,984 --> 00:40:08,031
is the most profound experience
I can imagine.

702
00:40:08,115 --> 00:40:13,120
It's odd. I'm so filled with emotion
about what just happened.

703
00:40:13,203 --> 00:40:16,832
I just...
It's extraordinary. Extraordinary.

704
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,082
Come here.

705
00:40:19,709 --> 00:40:21,586
I hope I never recover from this.

706
00:40:21,669 --> 00:40:26,174
I hope that I can maintain
what I feel now.

707
00:40:26,258 --> 00:40:27,883
I don't want to lose it.

708
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:32,680
[woman] The Star Trek legend,
who can now truly say

709
00:40:32,763 --> 00:40:35,308
he has boldly gone
where so few have gone before.

710
00:40:35,392 --> 00:40:39,604
[woman 2] At the age of 90,
Bill Shatner made history yesterday

711
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:43,274
when he and three others shot off
into space on that Blue Origin rocket,

712
00:40:43,357 --> 00:40:45,901
an event watched all around the world.

713
00:40:47,611 --> 00:40:49,613
[Bezos]
Bill Shatner is not Captain Kirk.

714
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:56,203
Captain Kirk is this
amazing fictional character

715
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:59,749
that inspired millions of people.

716
00:40:59,832 --> 00:41:04,379
It turns out that Captain Kirk
is an incredible character.

717
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:06,589
Bill Shatner is an incredible man.

718
00:41:08,091 --> 00:41:11,136
And he became one of my heroes
all over again.

719
00:41:11,218 --> 00:41:12,761
But this time,
it's the real man.

720
00:41:24,357 --> 00:41:26,359
[gentle music playing]

721
00:41:40,665 --> 00:41:41,499
[Shatner] Espresso.

722
00:41:43,209 --> 00:41:44,419
Mac.

723
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,087
Come on, big boy.

724
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:49,216
[barks]

725
00:41:51,968 --> 00:41:55,680
When I am not performing
in one way or another,

726
00:41:55,763 --> 00:41:58,975
I'm doing family, dogs, or horses.

727
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:00,142
That's my life.

728
00:42:00,227 --> 00:42:02,395
My darling, how are you?

729
00:42:02,479 --> 00:42:03,812
How's it going, big guy?

730
00:42:03,897 --> 00:42:05,522
And they're very dear to me.

731
00:42:05,607 --> 00:42:08,651
What do you say, big guy?
Ooh, sorry about that.

732
00:42:08,734 --> 00:42:11,988
Sorry about that,
I didn't mean to hit you.

733
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:13,031
I didn't mean to hit you.

734
00:42:13,113 --> 00:42:17,743
And I see the language
that horses speak, that dogs speak.

735
00:42:17,826 --> 00:42:20,162
Everything is speaking a language.

736
00:42:20,247 --> 00:42:21,957
Everything is connected.

737
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,792
It is a... It is a knitting.

738
00:42:24,875 --> 00:42:26,836
It is a shawl of life.

739
00:42:26,919 --> 00:42:31,174
Come on. That a boy. That a boy.

740
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:34,426
And when one of those pieces
of wool are plucked,

741
00:42:34,511 --> 00:42:36,053
everything comes undone.

742
00:42:36,136 --> 00:42:38,305
It leads to the destruction of everything.

743
00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:42,142
What a good boy you are.
What a good boy you are.

744
00:42:42,227 --> 00:42:43,435
[horse neighs]

745
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,354
Oh, is that a friend of yours
saying goodbye?

746
00:42:45,437 --> 00:42:48,692
I mean, there's a mysterious beauty
about space.

747
00:42:48,774 --> 00:42:49,901
Up you go.

748
00:42:49,984 --> 00:42:54,906
And you leave the Earth behind
and there is space,

749
00:42:54,990 --> 00:42:56,908
and it is black.

750
00:42:57,908 --> 00:43:00,495
And then I pivoted back to Earth.

751
00:43:00,578 --> 00:43:05,457
This beige-blue-white rock
is what gives us life.

752
00:43:06,834 --> 00:43:08,419
Come here, big boy.

753
00:43:08,502 --> 00:43:09,796
[horse neighs]

754
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:10,921
Who's talking?

755
00:43:11,006 --> 00:43:15,676
Everybody recognizes that the polluting
we're doing on Earth

756
00:43:15,759 --> 00:43:17,636
is destroying the Earth.

757
00:43:18,888 --> 00:43:21,182
I was overwhelmed with sadness...

758
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:24,893
Come on, big boy.
[clicks tongue]

759
00:43:24,977 --> 00:43:28,064
...over the death of Earth.

760
00:43:29,399 --> 00:43:31,776
I never felt that until now.

761
00:43:33,153 --> 00:43:35,488
But we must have hope.

762
00:43:35,571 --> 00:43:37,615
Without hope,
what have we got?

763
00:43:41,285 --> 00:43:42,412
And we've got hope

764
00:43:42,495 --> 00:43:47,792
if we do something right away
for that rock that gives us life.

765
00:43:49,544 --> 00:43:50,587
There's hope.

766
00:44:01,638 --> 00:44:03,640
[gentle music playing]
