It's official: Beam me up Scotty!
I was wondering why nobody invited Brian May, at least on a suborbital flight. He's an astrophysicist , after all. I'm not sure what to say of Blue Origins' strategy of sending celebrities, but hey, if it helps spaceflight and doesn't blow up, why not ?That‘s awesome regarding both. I really grant Shatner that trip. Also, I think it might be a benefit to send people from the aerospace industries into space this way as well.
Without such companies those people might never be able to travel into space without complicated selection process and years of training.
Has Shatner become the oldest person in space? Or is there any astronaut that flew space older than Shatner?
Yeah. I like how he is almost speechless as seen in the video @GLS posted above. And that's just a very few minutes.I also believe, this was authentic.
