I am glad he made it. Captain Kirk was a childhood hero of mine. Amazing that he actually made it to space. Life imitating art.
Addendum: Keep in mind that this man is 90 years old and listening to him in the interview on the ground he is totally lucid with no evidence of slowing down. No wheelchair, no cane, no mental fumbling. Truly amazing. My dad is aging the same way at 93 going on 94. Diet and exercise. Lifestyle choices. Genetics you can't help, but you can certainly try to stay alive and well with choices made. Many do not make good choices. To me at least, it is very important to live the longest most fulfilling life you can, gentlemen.
Just wish he would have worn the Star Fleet uniform.
+1 agreed

The more I look at this new Shatner "episode" the more it looks like an Austin Powers movie
We have been laughing so hard (excuse the pun)
Shatner = Austin Powers
Bezos = Doktor Evil
The Rocket = well "The Rocket" in the movie

Tell me I'm wrong
There are striking similarities. You are not wrong.
Original cast.....life imitating art
