Sucessful launch and recovery.  New York Post:

Blue Origin blasts ‘Star Trek’ star William Shatner to space
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin successfully blasted William Shatner — the Canadian actor who famously played Captain Kirk in the original “Star Trek” TV series — to the edge of space Wednesday morning.

The sci-fi actor, 90, is officially the oldest person to have ever traveled to space — even topping the record set by Wally Funk, 82, earlier this year on Blue Origin’s first crewed flight.

“Everybody in the world. Everybody needs to see,” Shatner said through tears to Bezos after returning to the Earth.

Very cool.  Surprised that NASA didn't capitalize on his personna and send him up years ago on the shuttle.
