Blue Origin launched four people, including Star Trek actor William Shatner, on a suborbital flight Wednesday.

This was the second crewed flight of New Shepard, after a July flight that carried company founder Jeff Bezos and three others. Shatner was exuberant after his flight, offering a long description of the experience to Bezos. Also on the flight were entrepreneurs Chris Boshuizen and Glen de Vries, and Blue Origin vice president Audrey Powers.
