He came, he saw, he conquered the 10 minute trip to space. Captain Kirk aka Star Trek actor William Shatner has gone up and back to space aboard the latest Blue Origin flight. Climbing to a maximum altitude just above 100km, passengers on the Bezos Express could see the curvature of the Earth. Calling the experience “unbelievable”, a teary 90yo Shatner – now the oldest person to go to space – said it was “the most profound experience. I’m so filled with emotion about what just happened. I hope I never recover from this. I hope I can retain what I feel now. I don’t want to lose it.” Also on board was former NASA engineer/entrepreneur Chris Boshuizen – he became the 3rd Aussie to go into space. The mission was the 2nd crewed outing for Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket.
