fastbob Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 On this day William Shatner went into space . Listening to his reaction afterwards moved me to tears . This should have happened years ago . NASA could have made Space Shuttle places available to artists , poets and musicians or anyone who would be able to express their feelings about the experience of space flight . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

husoi Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Claiming that this is going into space is the same as me saying "I'm going out" then walk to the end of the garden and come back again Stupidly rich people playing with stupidly expensive toys because they have nothing better to do.

Fozzie Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I watched this live, I couldn't miss Captain Kirk going into space. He was clearly overwhelmed by it all. I've heard before how the perspective of how thin our atmosphere is changed by the experience, and can imagine these feelings being shared will be important in the future when it comes to looking after the planet. I think it's great, as even a toy for the rich, it's driving technology that is beneficial. If we don't destroy ourselves, we will one day need a way off this rock.

goat Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Just now, fastbob said: An illogical decision . I've changed my mind seeing that photo. With that level of talent he should be held in very high regard. Exactly the kind of person we need to populate a terraformed planet to replace landfill Earth. I only hope he'll live long enough to spunk his beans up a willing moon donor or maybe just over Bransons beard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbob Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 William Shatner has always been aware of the limits of his talent but a read of his extensive career will show that despite this he never gave up . Unlike some of the fragile , talentless twats that abound these days , he never gave up . I admire the bloke . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie man Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I have fond memories as a child watching Star Trek with my dad. One one occasion I said 'Dad I wish I could have been shot in to space' My dad turned to me and said calmly 'well son. If I hadn't have been pissed you would've been' 'Taxi' 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Once we've got a proper grip on the issues that the planet has, then we should be wasting the billions in sending passengers into the upper atmosphere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Westerly Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 If the folks spending the billions are spending their own cash as opposed to a government's what's the issue? Government's are wasteful and inept and constrained by the electoral cycle; individuals aren't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 @Bender I've always been a big fan of his, I actually pushed for my wife to study at Huddersfield university as he was the chancellor at the time and I thought I might have half a chance of meeting him at her graduation He was in America filming during her ceremony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
