VAN HORN, Texas : Billionaire U.S. businessman Jeff Bezos's company Blue Origin is set for its second suborbital tourism flight on Wednesday, with actor William Shatner - who embodied the promise of space travel on the"Star Trek" TV series and films - among the four-person all-civilian crew poised to blast off in Texas.

New Shepard is expected to carry the passengers more than 60 miles above Earth, allowing them to experience a few minutes of weightlessness before the crew capsule returns to the Texas desert under parachutes. The flight, previously scheduled for Tuesday, was pushed back a day for wind-related reasons.

Bezos, the Amazon.com Inc founder and current executive chairman, formed Blue Origin two decades ago. Shatner said there is both irony and symmetry to his space trip, having played a space explorer for decades and now actually becoming one."I want to see space. I want to see the Earth. I want to see what we need to do to save Earth. I want to have a perspective that hasn't been shown to me before," Shatner said.

Sebuah komet besar akan muncul & mengganggu paksi dan keseimbangan bumi. Seluruh dunia akan berada dlm kegelapan. Kemudian Allah SWT dgn rahmatNya mengembalikan bumi ke kedudukan asal. Inilah salah satu ramalan dlm mimpi Muhammad Qasim tentang masa depan.

Space! Lol.
