William Shatner's trip into space was more than just an adventure for the man best known for his iconic role in Star Trek. It was also in one sense the completion of a journey that started in 1966.
"All of a sudden, the Rivian pulls up to me and there's Bill in there in the passenger seat," DiCostanzo said."And the driver's seat—right in front of me is Jeff Bezos. I was shocked to see him driving the Rivian. And he's in a spacesuit as well and he's driving all these astronauts out to the launchpad that morning."
When the capsule returned, DiCostanzo was initially concerned that the doors were not opened immediately but eventually Bezos"puts the key in the door—latches—open the latches and out they pop out I'm like—that to me was the sigh relief."For DiCostanzo, one of the most profound moments of the trip was his conversation with Shatner on the flight back to Los Angeles.
"So I'm like, wow, how profound is that?" he said."Bill's pretty bright and I'm sure he understood the gravity of that.. Isn't that amazing? So, now Bill's going into space, or went into space, because of his influence on Jeff Bezos as a young kid," he said. "The guy's 90 years old. He's got more physical and mental stamina than anybody can imagine," said DiCostanzo"I had four hours sleep the night before. I'm nodding off on the plane back. He's chatting with me. He's chatting with a couple other guys on the plane. He's doing emails. He did not even nod off. Not one second, but"And I asked him what the most difficult part of the trip was. He said, getting back into his seat after the weightlessness.
