yes, there's william shatner. you have great folks here, rock stars and science in space. >> audrey powers is not just a blue origin employee, she's been a force in the new space community for many years, as mentioned earlier, chris boshuisen founded this amazing company, planet. for decades we were talking about how small satellites would revolution nice the space business, but they made it happen. this is not just random people who had an interest in space. they really contributed to the new space era that we have. de vries is the other guy that none of us know, maybe the typical tourist we'll see going to space in the longer term, the person with a lot of money who is just a fan. >> there has been such a focus on that aspect of it, but i do think it's important to point out, as you were going through their resumes there, the real involvement that both audrey powers and chris boshuizen. his handle is apparently crispy. he goes by crispy in his musical career. we were listening in as we were doing the communicati

[applause] [laughter] >> the champagne showers have begun. smiles all around. william shatner taking in the moment, clearly. >> everybody in the world needs to do this. everybody in the world needs to see it. it is unbelievable. the little things just went. when you see the blue-collar. -- color and then you are staring into blackness. the caller of -- the colors of blue. he ripped off the sheet -- you are off the sheet and you're looking into blackness. there is blue down there and the black up there. it is just very, there is mother earth and comfort and there is death, but i do not know. it was so moving to me. this experience is something unbelievable. you know, the weightlessness, it is

earth with the chance to experience what william shatner just did. what he said right there is so profound. he said everybody in the world needs to see it. it was unbelievable. that is at the core of what a lot of these private space flight companies are trying to do like blue origin, trying to get other people to experience this in the hopes that when they come back to planet earth, they'll be able to do things in their lives to make the world a better place. i have to go back through some of these incredible lines that william shatner had. he told jeff bezos, you have given me the most profound experience. i'm so filled with emotion about what just happened, i hope i never recover from this. i don't want to lose it. there are so many people who go into space who are skilled in so many different areas, they're brilliant scientists, mathematicians, engineers, test pilots, doctors. william shatner was just able to put that experience into words that i don't think i've ever heard any astronaut quite capture that way. i know there's going to be a big de

[inaudible conversations] >> not only is it different from what you thought. [inaudible] [laughter] >> i want to hear this. >> the champagne showers have begun. to taken a moment clearly. >> it was unbelievable. everybody needs to see this. but to see the blue color then you are staring at blackness. the coloring of blue like a comforter of blue and then you look into blackness the blue over there than the black up there there is mother earth is at the way death is? i don't know. then when it is gone it is peace? this experience to say yes. you know. it's all true but what isn't true but the soft blue. it is so thin and you are through in an instant. >> but you go to thousand miles an hour whatever the mathematics are many were throughh the blue then it is black of what that galaxies but what you see is black and what you see down there is white and that is the difference. so wh

. >> william shatner go to space aboard blue origin. he talked about his experience and lord founder, jeff bezos -- and amazon founder, jeff bezos. >> the second human spaceflight crew, what a launch, we are on our way to the first milestone here on his flight to space. , gaining speed on their climb to space, we have confirmed the max q. that's when the stress on the vehicle is at the maximum. >> thank you for joining us live for the second human flight with audrey powers, william shatner, and others on board. they're on their way to space. so far, a clean burn on our blue engine three. a beautiful flight to space this morning. the rocket is climbing towards an altitude just over the carmen line, the line of space of 100 kilometers, that is 328,000 feet. we have had main engine cut off, in just a moment we will separate the capsule from the booster. our astronauts will have the opportunity to get out of their harnesses and enjoy the beauties of zero g. that is way to listen. -- let us wait to listen. a clean separation from the capital

guy: william shatner is in his 90's. if he can tolerate this, i am assuming most people can tolerate this. this isn't completely debilitating stress they are coming under. 3g is quite a lot, but nevertheless manageable. i'm wondering what that tells us about the available pool of people that could potential ago up and replicate what they are doing today. ed: this is the product. this is what blue origin designed this to be. they want anyone to be able to fly with minimal training up to that 62 mile apogee. the crew arrives about three days before launch. the training largely involves the basics, getting in and out of the seat, doing the harness, how to respond in the event of an emergency. that said, in an emergency, the system is largely autonomous. it is designed to jettison the capsule to a safe distance from the booster. one of the requirements is that any crewmember can climb seven flights of stairs in under 90 seconds. i am not entirely sure that i can climb seven flights of stairs in under 90 seconds. but that was

you, again, are we looking at phase us and william shatner himself, the great thing william shatner is actually getting off the craft now and they are hugging, which is really lovely. things are customers looking forward to hearing what he has to say about your flight and what and what it was like seeing from older kilometers up in space and feeling no gravity or gravity for 3 minutes or something like that . these lovely scenes out of texas some big hugs from their loved ones. it away. oh, that's what i thought to work on your work. because not only is that different from what you thought. oh well, you know what? i. 7 that i never a, i don't, i want to hear that i have a champagne showers, a really taking in the moment, clearly with everybody in the world to be a everybody. i mean, they are, they are really wonderful scenes that we're seeing now. i want to ask you about your thoughts on the impact on william shatner's body being 90 years old and having all that pressure on him going into space. what are the impacts physically for him? do you think? well, i think the biggest problem fo

it is william shatner. meg, given that we've had two holds already this morning, if you were inside that shuttle, would you have any apprehensions about going? >> no, because it's very much a part of what happens. and in fact, that you have a hold, it means that someone is checking things out. and when you come out of the hold, it means that they've checked it out and things are working well. so it wouldn't make me more apprehensive, on my mission, we didn't have any holds and we launched to the second. which is not usually the second. there's usually something that happens that changes your actual launch time from the second that it was scheduled. it wouldn't bother me. >> and we were talking with jose hernandez a little while ago about how all of these things sparked the imagination and people who may be obviously now couldn't afford it, but conceive their future. and say, gosh, one day i could go to space one way or another. is this an important aspect of these flights. the inspiration it may kindle in p

william shatner is just a minutes away. from launching into space, the star trek actor, we're both boldly go away. no 92 year old has gone before becoming the oldest ever person to fly to space. the new shepherd n as 18 flight was originally scheduled for tuesday, but there's been a number of delays june, too windy weather at the texas launch site. while we're waiting for that you lift off. let's cross in advance cross till our reporter andy gallagher. we who ease live for us in miami. hello there, andy. it's just minutes away now until the launches. it's been a long time coming. just how significant is this mission? for luck, it's captain james, ty barriers, kirk going to the edge of our atmosphere. you can't really underestimate the influence that star trek had as a show. remember william shatner 1st appeared on my screen back in 1966, 3 years before we even landed on the moon. and here we are more than half a century later. one of the most iconic science fiction starship captains is about to meet science fact the entire

william shatner becoming the oldest person to reach space. how did it look from your vantage point, morgan, and i almost feel like i heard william shatner say this is unlike you'd ever experience in your life or experience again. >> yeah. incredible sight. we believe that's what he said as the oldest person to go to space, look down. prior to the trip he said that he was looking forward to being entranced by looking down on the blue orren of earth. i can only imagine that's what he was doing during that three or four minutes of weightlessness when it hit the peak distance traveling along the carmen line before making a safe return to the west texas desert floor. there was nervous anticipation on behalf of shatner. we know that has excited as he was about this trip, he says that he was equally excited about a safe return. well, right now it looks like that's exactly what we have. those teams are making the way to the capsule. that's had a soft landing via the three parachutes and the thrusters right before making impact there. and from our van

william shatner and another one are going free. >> dana: william shatner is 90 years old. remarkable. casey siegel is in west texas at the launch seat. >> good morning. the puns are endless with william shatner going into the space. we are about 30 minutes behind schedule. liftoff was scheduled for the top of the hour. now t-minus 29 minutes and counting. 3 times faster than the speed of sound or mock-3. that's how fast the new shepherd rocket engine will take offa and propel that vehicle to the boundaries of space. the internationally recognized boundary of space. more than sixty miles up. the 4 passenger including william shatner will experience zero gravity for about 3 or 4 minutes before they come back down. the entire mission from liftoff to touchdown lasts a whopping 11 minutes. for those on board it's only 8 minutes for the reusable rocket engine which separates from the crew capsule and flies back to the launch site on its own arriving 3 minutes before the passengers are schedule to touch down. no doubt this has got the small town of 2000 people of van horn, texas,

and william shatner is actually taking the journey for himself. so in terms of this space rates between these 2 and 3, johns, yes, the so me go involved here, but getting shatner on board. the blue origin i think is a huge to for bays off. it's got lots of people watching lots of people saying what shatner's reaction will be when he gets back down to earth. but right now, we're on this holding patton's. he can only imagine what bill shatner is feeling strapped into this new shepherd capsule. remember, there's no pilot is all automated about to be blasted up into the atmosphere while fully i'll get one of the best views. you can simply imagine the blue origin. the new shepherd rocket has some of the biggest windows of any spacecraft in the history of space flight. so we should get an amazing view of the planet. see the curvature of the earth variance that got that sense of being with no gravity and then come back down to earth all very safely. so lots of people watching. attracted by, of course we're doing all this. so for, for base also, i think a

we should note, william shatner is on board. audrey powers was with nasa, 2,000 hours at mission control. being driven now to the launch site by jeff bezos. we should know blue origin, the company, tweeted, we are a go for number ns-18 astronaut load, noting this will be the 18th launch. the crew headed to the launch tower for final preparations and also their entry into that capsule. let's bring back chris hadfield, former commander. also joining us, dr. bernard harris, the first african-american to walk in space. particularly good to have folks who have been in that position before. perhaps i should begin with you, dr. harris. describe what it feels like to be moments away from launching into space. in this case it's three times the speed of sound, more than 2,000 miles an hour. what do you feel in those moments before you go? >> well, you know, it depends on whether it's your first mission or your second mission. as i think about what's happening now, i have to reflect back on my first mission. there was a sense of nervousnes

of course william shatner, everybody knows him as an actor. he also sings. i think that's one of the most beautiful things about what we're doing at blue origin, again, opening the door to more people to go to space. yes, the scientists, yes, the engineers, but now the artists, poets, singers, deejays, let's just see what they create coming out of this experience. we have said it before, going to space changes you. we've talked about the overview effect. and i can't wait to see how the stories that come out of -- and the art that comes out of this. all right. we now have them going around the capsule getting the thumbs up from each of our astronauts. >> thank you again everybody for joining us live from west texas, where we have just completed our second human flight of the new shepherd vehicle. our crew on board, the great william shatner now who has become the oldest person to have ever flown to space, at the ripe age of 90 years old. our very own audrey powers, as well as our two customers glenn and chris. our recovery crew is out there and about to open

william shatner. he wasn't leading the crew his alter ego commanded, but with three other passengers who would share what the few who've gone before say is a life—changing experience. two, one... more than 50 years after he first donned a spacesuit as captain kirk, william shatner is now on his way to the final frontier. and there they are, over 328,000 feet... minutes later, as the new shepard crossed the internationally recognised boundary of space, he became the oldest person in the world to float there, weightless. and the actor who, for decades, played an iconic space explorer became one. and capsule touchdown. welcome back, the newest astronauts! he emerged from the capsule visibly moved by the adventure he said he hopes he never recovers from. firmly back on planet earth, he told me the beauty of what he'd seen was more profound than any words he could find or world record he'd broken. i wish i had broken the world record in the 10—yard dash or the 100—yard dash, but unfortunately it was

"star trek's" captain kirk, william shatner, boldly going to the final frontier and back. at 90 years old, becoming the oldest person ever to blast off into space. more than five decades after "star trek" began. >> welcome aboard, captain. >> reporter: traveling aboard amazon-founder jeff craft. shatner saying, wow. the crew experiencing three minutes of weightlessness before parachuting back down to earth. the whole mission just over ten minutes. afterwards, bezos opening the latch. >> hello, astronauts. >> reporter: shatner and the crew emerging. >> to see the blue color. now you're staring at the black. that's the thing. the covering of blue. the sheet, the blanket, this comforter of blue that we have around us. we think oh, that's blue sky. and you shoot through it, all of a sudden, you whip off a sheet and you look into blackness, into black, ugliness, and you look down, there's the blue down there, and the black up there. >> reporter: shatner overcome. >> i'm so filled with emotion about what just happened. i just, it's extraordinary, extraordinary. i hope i never re

exactly, this is a reason it was william shatner who was - it was william shatner who was gripped it this really a trip into space because we all know him as playing captain kirk in star trek, so this is going to... for generations this will ignite their imaginations. i have to say, i have never watched the star trek or star wars shows, it is not really my thing, but even i got emotional as i saw that go up into the air. you know, it is the ingenuity of humanity to be able to just send someone to space for ten minutes and back down, in a similar way to which you might get on the tube or the bus, so straightforward, seemingly, in terms of the trip. and then when he got off, as aubrey allegretti says, he was welling up, saying he had never seen anything like it before and all of us should go there. i think the price at the moment if you are not william shatner is $28 million, so i don't know about you, but i need to check my euromillions ticket from last night because that is the only hope for most of us going there. we were “ust seeinr for most of us going there. we were just seeing

it includes william shatner there leaving the training center for the launch pad. it will not be long before they go past the final frontier. can you believe we're saying that for real? you can see them getting ready right here on your screen. you know, it's these minutes. i was there in july, and there's this sort of excitement but also fear. remember, they are going to be launching, people watch this rocket launch and then, you know, minutes later when suddenly it goes out of sight. there's that sense of panic, but you know, when you speak to anyone on the blue origin team, i spoke to mark bezos who was part of the mission over the summer in the last few days who said this is all about safety, safety, safety. audry powers is going to be part of this mission. she joined blue origin in 2013. she is in charge of this rocket, of specifically land operations. so for those who are saying, oh, my gosh, captain kirk, is she going to be safe? safety does seem to be their top mission. >>> also ahead this hour, the new change at our borders that could impact thousands comin

i do not think they will ask william shatner tojump will ask william shatner to jump out, will ask william shatner tojump out, they will give him some steps with a hand rail, as the other three as well, let's be clear about that, to enable them to walk out. there will be quite a crowd, i'm sure, that will turn up very shortly and we hopefully will get to see at some point william shatner emerge waving to everybody and us here on television. fantastic. did to everybody and us here on television. fantastic. did they take cameras with _ television. fantastic. did they take cameras with them? _ television. fantastic. did they take cameras with them? i'm _ television. fantastic. did they take cameras with them? i'm sure i television. fantastic. did they take| cameras with them? i'm sure some television. fantastic. did they take i cameras with them? i'm sure some of them will have — cameras with them? i'm sure some of them will have done. _ cameras with them? i'm sure some of them will have done. it _ cameras with them? i'm sure some of them will have done. it was _ cameras with them? i'm sure

the crew, including william shatner, were able to ask. just a few minutes of weightlessness and take in the views of earth. that was the selling point blue origin tried to get across. he windows you see on the capsule, there you have the touchdown, safely it seems, but we will wait for those live pics of the crew to actually exit the capsule. but the second successful crewed mission for blue origin. everyone forgets the blue origin successfully managed to land and reuse the booster before spacex did, but then encountered endless engineering struggles. they pumped money into this company at a rate, an extraordinary rate, and they have been playing catch-up, but this is certainly a substantive step forward. guy: what is nasa doing while all of this is taking place? keith: a lot of people there who i used to work with are happy. a lot of people are scratching their heads, as to say, why can't we do this. i think it a sort of what happens in middle age when you realize the youngsters have just figured out to do -- figured out how to do someth

so the fact that william shatner is about to blast off. remember, this whole trip will only last about 10 minutes. they blast off to about a 100 kilometers above that. let's say they go through about 3 minutes of weightlessness before parachuting back down to worth. but in terms of putting a related person on this new shepherd rocket, you can't really get much better than captain william. there is something i think that will renew interest in private space travel and you know, we're seeing the democratization of this. hopefully the costs will come down and maybe one day you and i probably will be able to do the same thing. i don't know if i want to go to be honest. thank you. thank you for the moment. and gallagher will come back to you. of course, when william shatner blocked off in just a few minutes from texas. in the meantime, let's move on to other news. more than 250 policy and prisoners from the islamic jihad movement have started hunger strike, prisoners say they have been facing for the punishment after 6 inmates tunnel their way
