A new short excursion into space was on the agenda: this time presenter Michael Strahan was allowed to fly with Jeff Bezos’ space company.
Michael Strahan (50), “Good Morning America” presenter and former American football player, has completed a ten-minute excursion into space. On twitter confirmed Jeff Bezos’ (57) space company Blue Origin the successful mission this Saturday (December 11th) in Van Horn, Texas. Laura Shepard Churchley, daughter of Alan Shepard (1923-1998), who flew into space as a NASA astronaut in 1961, was one of the six passengers.
An actor also flew into space
It was the third tourist flight to the edge of space for Blue Origin. William Shatner (90) had also fulfilled his dream of flying into space as a star guest on the second mission. The Captain Kirk actor from “Raumschiff Enterprise” traveled into space on October 13, 2021 – as the oldest person ever. Amazon Prime Video captured the excursion into space with the camera. The documentary “Shatner in Space” starts on December 15th this year on Amazon – but only in North America, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. In other areas, the special should then be seen in early 2022.
