    Captain Kirk in space...

    https://comicbook.com/startrek/news/star-trek-jeff-bezos-william-shatner-blue-origin-reportedly-going-into-space/

    “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      By the way, supposedly, Kirk never said, "Beam me up, Scotty."

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_me_up,_Scotty

      Despite the phrase entering into popular culture, it is a misquotation and has never been said in any of the television series or films, contrary to popular belief.[1] There have, however, been several "near misses" of phrasing. In the Original Series episodes "The Gamesters of Triskelion" and "The Savage Curtain", Kirk said, "Scotty, beam us up"; while in the episode "This Side of Paradise", Kirk simply said, "Beam me up". In the episode “The Cloud Minders“, Kirk says, “Mr. Scott, beam us up.” The animated episodes "The Lorelei Signal" and "The Infinite Vulcan" used the phrasing "Beam us up, Scotty". The original film series has the wording "Scotty, beam me up" in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and "Beam them out of there, Scotty" in Star Trek Generations. The complete phrase was eventually said by William Shatner in the audio adaptation of his non-canon novel Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden.

      "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        If he makes it, Shatner will be 90.

              Are Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic anything more than space tourism companies?

                    @klaus Nope, and I think we joked about this when Bezos went up.

                    Reminds me of:

                        The talking head said that the "astronauts" are not wearing helmets because Blue Origin wants to give their customers the optimal space experience.

                          @george-k To be fair, isn't this where you add your "and you wear a helmet, why?" comment?

                          BTW... Shatner is 90? Wow.

                                      So far so good. Is it too demanding of me to expect a nice HD live stream from within the capsule?
