William Shatner expected that going to space in October 2021 would induce “the ultimate catharsis.” Touching the ground, Shatner wept, and he wasn’t sure why. It took him hours to realize what he was experiencing: “great grief … for the planet.”
Then, it was launch day, and at 9:49 a.m. Central time, Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket — named after Alan Shepard, the first American to go into space — blasted off. Shatner’s flight lasted a little more than 10 minutes, climbing to a height of about 66 miles, four miles beyond one of the thresholds generally considered the edge of space. While in flight, the crew saw Earth below and the dark abyss on the other side, experiencing weightlessness for a few minutes.
“I am aware that every moment that goes by, things that took 5 billion years to emerge are going extinct,” Shatner told The Post. “We’ll never know them.”Referring to the effort to build the atomic bomb in World War II, he called for a second “of scientists,” a brain trust charged with removing carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
