Certainly better than the last 11 minutes of your typed verbiage.

The Wright Brothers have done pretty will historically with their first flight of 12 seconds.

Don't say mean things about your fellow right wingers.

Besides, if this were Alec Baldwin going up in space you'd be saying the same thing that he said.

This doesn't have to be political !

Captain Kirk in Space was cool!

Perhaps you should donate your computer to a school child rather than waste it making posts on a message board.

You and I agree on absolutely nothing else, but parts of it did look fake. And most of it looked pointless.

I'm glad he went, because we would not have gotten that perspective from anyone else.

Ok, but what was that babble from Shatner beforehand about sending earth's pollution into space?

Also, it must be said that it's something of a stretch to call that a space flight.

Good for him though I could never do this due to panic attacks and motion sickness.

It looked like 50s sci-fi.

Just the remembrance of Star Trek makes me happy that some where someone remembers the idea of Star Trek... that someday humanity would have evolved for bigger and better things.

And I have to say this was the first time seeing these millionaire rockets and darn, did it not look so much better than NASA.

It did not....not even close

Great publicity stunt -- Captain Kirk goes to space.

But boy can it trigger people -- lol.
