Jeff Bezos interrupts emotional William Shatner to spray champagne after rocket landing pic.twitter.com/ATImeMEIEB— The Independent (@Independent) October 14, 2021
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.
To be fair, Shatner seems to have an epiphany during every interview in the last few years, I think he's struggling to come to terms with how old he is. Bezos is still an ass though

Broke: getting the overview effect through a multimillion-dollar spaceship
Woke: getting the overview effect through psychedelics
Bespoke; getting the overview effect when you launch a satellite in Civ 6 and you can see the whole map
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
Honestly, if you don't get that feeling just flying on a jet plane and looking out the window, you don't deserve to go to space.
