    Remarkable and captivating.

    A moment of extraordinary contrast at the end... Kirk himself emerges from the capsule, tentatively at first, as if landing on a strange new world. He looks around him, takes it all in: tears swell in his eyes. The camera lingers on him as he weighs careful words, attempting, stumbling at first, to give expression to what was a profound, transformational experience. At last the words come...we lean in to hear what may go down in the Ages...but we can barely hear him, drowned out by the screaming, whooping, chattering hens in the background as if on a saturday night out at Carlos & Charlie's.
    True - but he composed himself after Bezos interrupted his first words with a bottle of bubbly and still showed enough emotion in his experience to bring a tear to the eye.
    It bothered me badly that he got interrupted and had to just stand there waiting to see what was next. A bit disrespectful, honestly, and it ruined the moment completely i think, should have been more memorable than a "yeah i hear you but let me go get a bottle first! Ok so yeah, what were you saying?"

    There was a missed opportunity there, could have been more 'historical' and memorable, and i don't think they planned anything after the landing, that was a lost chance to make a very cool and unique event in history

    But it's very nice still, that he's still around and be able to experience this, something that could not have happened some years ago, he got to see and live it on his own, and that's truly very cool

    Hopefully we'll hear more about this later on in his show, or somewhere else
