I watched the entire flight and even got choked up a bit by Shatner’s reaction, and his stating that he hopes he “never gets over it”. It brought the man so much joy to be a part of that flight.
In a dark time, it sure was a bright spot to my day.
"Scotty" may have beat him to space, but "Kirk" was alive to experience it.
I'm still trying to decide if blasting Captain Kirk into space for three minutes is really cool or a colossal waste of money. Probably causes lots of pollution too.

The rocket engine doesn't, burning liquid hydrogen with liquid oxygen produces water as its byproduct.

The booster landing almost overshadows the rest of the flight, nice work!
