Well, Bezos might be a jackweasel, but he figured out how to grab my attention

 I haven’t watched a rocket launch since Challenger.  But today, from start to finish, I had the Blue Origin launch streaming because William Shatner was going for a ride on New Shepard.

The Captain Kirk references got annoying but the sheer chutzpah of a ninety year old man going into space really caught my interest.

He went up safely and got back safely. 

Wicked cool.
