“I am so filled with emotion,” Shatner told Bezos while describing the feeling of leaving Earth. “I am overwhelmed. I had no idea.”
Fans of the film and TV star were delighted to see the man who played Capt. James T. Kirk for decades actually travel into space. “Godspeed @WilliamShatner. Will reach Mach 3 on ascent. That’s 0.00034% of Warp Factor 1, but it’s a start,” Neil deGrasse Tyson said via Twitter. Shatner seemed ready to go, spending Tuesday night cracking some jokes on social media. “Has someone informed [Elton John]?” the actor joked of the “Rocket Man” artist. Shatner, of course, did his classic melodramatic spoken-word version of the song in the late 1970s.
It was confirmed earlier this month that Shatner would travel aboard New Shepard NS-18. “I’ve heard about space for a long time now. I’m taking the opportunity to see it for myself. What a miracle,” he said at the time.
