I do like that drone shot of the launch they do.

It's almost as quick into space as an astramax van...

Impressive that!!

Those thrusters that slow and balance it for landing, that’s incredible!!

Pretty much an every launch thing now with Space X, still looks impressive though.
It was the best part of the whole thing for me, the actual ride is off far too quick, I’d want a few more minutes up there at least!
Do you spend the time messing around in zero G, or enjoy the view? No time to do both properly

Bit rude there when Bezos cut Shatner off at "You know what I didn't expect ...." .... I thought Shatner looked dissapointed, as it turned to a Champagne spray. He was trying to say something.

I think William Shatner has been more than rather moved by the whole thing. They should fire the whoopers back into space.

100% He's still going on now, must be amazing when he's lived as a virtual space pioneer for many years

I’m so glad it’s had such a profound impact on him. Very interesting listening to him.

Just goes to show that even though the ride is short, it is clearly incredible

It also goes to show they missed a trick sending nothing but Dudley Do Rights to space back in the day, though no doubt they were a necessity.

A few minutes of his articulation is portraying more than entire previous space programs.
