just such a :chefs-kiss: moment
:yes-honey-left: I’m pouring my heart out to you here man…
:lord-bezos-amused: Shut da fuck up, champagne time!
Oh yeah I saw this a few days ago (on r/space I think) and it made me infuriated. Like Shatner obviously had the Overview Effect while no else seemingly had it.
As the video of inside the capsule showed Shatner was the only one glued to the window while everyone else (like on the first launch months ago) was doing flips, flinging food and rough housing (although some did enjoy the view nome had not having an epiphany like Shatner).
Like i never expected Bezos to be humbled when he first flew up obviously he’s a ghoul. But none of the other passengers? Just doesn’t give me hope for humanity to finally see that we’re a blue dot.

Broke: getting the overview effect through a multimillion-dollar spaceship
Woke: getting the overview effect through psychedelics
Lmao the wikipedia article already has shatner listed as someone who has experienced the Overview Effect. It has him listed as a “space tourist” lol
None of these people have gone to space, they were on a suborbital flight which is hardly better than going on a big trampoline.
Laika acutally went into space, in 1957. These people are all literally lower than a dog.
Didn’t some bootlicker write an article about bezos having emotional intelligence? Lmao
Edit - there are several articles like that.
Spraying champagne is such a douchy activity. Someone went through a lot of effort to plant and care for the vines, pick the grapes, press them, ferment them into wine, aging the wine, blending it to have just the right taste, painstakingly turning the bottles a little each day over months to remove sediment — just so some rich asshole can spray it on the ground like a spoilt child would do. Give those man children a box of water balloons each and give the champagne to someone who is actually going to drink it and enjoy it.
