He's 90, he'll be the oldest man to make it to space, let's hope he's also the oldest man to return from space still breathing.

My joke, Oldman. I'm not the only one who has remarked on the distinctly phallic look of that rocket.

Maybe he will find a worm hole and disappear with Bezos' little toy.

Idunno if Bezos really thought this out so well or if he is just trying to steal a little more of the publicity SpaceX seems to have manipulated.
If he kills Captain Kirk how's that going to reflect on his project?
Of course if all goes well he'll be a hero of sorts.

Shatner,s gonna be doing the jiggle belly during launch!!
😄😄😄😄😄
He looks kinda like a blue berry in his suit.
Eating well for a 90 yr old for sure.👍👍👍
But being 90 and in general good health speaks well of him.
Lets hope he sees sundown today and that rocket don't fugg up.

Bezo's space company is called Blue Origin. They name their vehicles after famous astronaut first flights. This sub-orbital rocket is called the New Shepard after Allen Shepard's sub-orbital Mercury flight. Their orbital vehicle will be named the New Glenn (if they ever build it) and their beyond Earth orbit vehicle will be the New Armstrong (again, if ever). So far, they've spent a bazillion dollars and have almost no actual rocket hardware to show for anything beyond the New Shepard - but they keep getting NASA and Space Force contracts to build things.
United Launch Alliance decided to buy Blue Origin's new BE-4 rocket engine to power their Vulcan rocket - the follow-on to the soon-to-be-retired Atlas. Except that Bezos has not and still can't deliver any of those engines. So ULA is screwed. Bezos keeps trying to sue SpaceX to cripple the latter's successes - but he's failed at that, too. All things considered, Blue Origin is such a failure that their best engineers keep resigning to go work for SpaceX.
