Came back down and tried to explain the existential amazing experience he just had to Jeff Bezos who just completely ignored him and went for the champagne bottles |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The whole exchange between the two men seemed so staged, I could almost hear a person in an earpiece going, "bzzt, Okay Jeff, remove your sunglasses....now." |

Also they aren't fucking astronauts, just like passengers on a ship aren't called aquanauts. |

Yeah having him opening the capsule and stuff, total PR exercise, you could tell Shatner was amazed. Wish Lenard Nimoy was with him |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah they were just strapped in like a piece of cargo, they had no input, calling them astronauts is a bit insulting to people who spend their entire career learning the in and outs of orbital flight mechanics |
||||||||

It was funny hearing the Blue Origin Bimbos calling half of them "customers" throughout - Shatner was terrified beforehand but I'm glad he came out okay and, despite the prepared speech he did seem genuinely moved and enhanced by it. |

i was about to rant about co2, but its a hydrogen engine, which may prove to be relatively harmless. now i wonder if they´re gonna use it for something useful as shooting up satellites and iss supplies too. |

yeah I reckon he was, yeah the commentary was pretty bad as well. That capsule landing looked a bit rough as well, i didn't see the small landing thrusters fire that cushion the capsule like when its 20 foot from the floor, just smacked down. Shatner looked a bit rough getting out the capsule. I think this ego thing between Musk and Bezos is leading to a new space race so its quite interesting. Blue Origin deffo looks a bit more ramshackle at the moment, like its a budget version of Space X |

that would have been quite a stunt! |

Why does Bezos wear a flight suit when he doesn't go into space |
||||||||
|
|

id love to see at least orbital flights or space stations develop a bit more within my lifetime. might not be too bad to have like a city in the sky in case one of those doomsday devices go off or another extinction level event. |
||||||||

Yeah im not really for this space tourism stuff its just polluting the environment, if they get serious about a colony on the moon or mars that would be really interesting but thats probably another 100 years off at least |
||||||||

kind of makes me happy and sad how there always seems to be a breaking news event turning out to be another tease. but it´s gotta start somewhere. so thats the up side :) |
||||||||
|

I think we will see some interesting stuff in the next few decades that for sure, someone is going to try and claim the moon or some silly stuff! |

almost bought my piece of land there in the 2000´s! dang i could be sitting on the porch in my spacesuit yelling and rifling off those folks claiming it to be their moon!! |
||||||||

|
|
hehe that would be nice, helium 3 miner! |
||||||||

i don't know what it would accomplish to send bill nye the science guy into space but he gets my vote for next publicity stunt |
