October 25, 2021
Not less than 2 weeks ago, an immense event happened. Perhaps you think that I am talking about the launch of the Blue Shepard developed by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company. I am, in a way- and that would be true for many people- but for me is that the 90 year old William Shatner was launched into space. And, although I will be presenting that to you here- and some other points, I first want to let those who have not seen it, watch the full show. Of course, it is quite long- but you can watch part of it- or skip it entirely. Here it is as it was broadcast live on October 13,2021.
We now stand at the very beginning of the commercial spaceflight business- along with Elon Musk’s Space X, which led the way, followed by the Virgin enterprise magnate, Richard Branson with his Virgin Galactic company- and now with – and the ever-enterprising Jeff Bezos, perhaps a little farther behind- but now on his second Blue Origin flight. If we didn’t think latecomer Bezos couldn’t compete- his choice of sending Shatner to space guaranteed him an exceptional and never forgotten legacy. Of course, none of these gentlemen are going to stand still.
Space was super important for me as a child. And my earliest glimpse of a realistic manned flight to space was way before Star Trek based on a movie produced by George Pal called Destination Moon. Who says that science fiction hasn’t served as a major inspiration for space? I listened to this record dozens of times, strapping in securely to my seat, preparing for launch while I listened. How much more so- concrete and inspired- were the magnificent Star Trek films when commanded by James Tiberias Kirk.
Here is Chris Cuomo interviewing William Shatner after his profound journey into the netherworld of space.
Despite our commendable efforts to get into Space, the reality of our home world is not so commendable. If we can, we would like to help you Earth-bound citizens to get your life back onto track.
Here are a few details of the New Shepard spaceship, launched by Blue Origin.
The New Shephard craft was based somewhat on the original design which launched Alan Shepard, when he became the first American in space in 1961. In 1971, he went about further, commanding the Apollo 14 mission and piloting the Lunar Modules, Antares and walking on the moon. The amazing thing about this spaceship is its autonomous navigation and control system and its very controlled landing which we have seen as such an amazing success in the last video.
Prior to this last launch, here is a Wikimedia chronology of the last three civilian spaceflight launches.
30 May 2020– SpaceX successfully launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Demo space capsule during the Demo-2 mission, marking the first privately-developed crewed mission to orbit and to visit the ISS.
11 July 2021– Virgin Galactic successfully launches Richard Branson on a SpaceShipTwo to space, marking the first privately-developed crewed mission to space carrying a founder of a space company.
20 July 2021– Blue Origin successfully launches Jeff Bezos on a New Shepard rocket to space above the Karman Line, marking the first privately-developed crewed mission to space with a company founder to get above the Karman Line.
For those of you who missed the first launch from Blue Origin, here is another long video. Make this your own personal Space Day if you wish.
