William Shatner says his flight to the edge of space reinforced his conviction that people need to take better care of the planet.
Shatner and three other crew members — Audrey Powers, Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations, and two paying customers, Glen de Vries and Chris Boshuizen — rode Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket and capsule to the edge of space. Liftoff occurred at around 10:50 a.m. ET, and the entire flight lasted about 10 minutes.
Shatner said he was trying to prepare something clever to say when he again reached earth, but"we get up and when I was there, everything I thought might be clever to say went out the window." "You’re floating, and I don’t want to turn summersaults, I don’t want to throw skittles — I want to look out the window," he said.
