William Shatner is 95.
Here’s what was going through his mind as he boldly went where a small group of people went before.
Humble & haunting.

We just do not deserve Sir Billiam of Shatner.
I’m so glad I was in his presence in March 2020 to inhale a few PPM of his CO2 in a London theatre

Shatner is a real one for putting that revelation into words. I'm sure the pressure to be "positive" about the experience was very high.

That’s right. I do respect him for that. Pretty sure that’s how I would have felt.

The Overview Effect. It’s ironic that it takes leaving the planet in such a damaging way to experience it.

Samantha Harvey’s beautiful book Orbital is a wonderful meditation on the Overview Effect.
