Interesting. Definitely worth watching for William Shatner and Star Trek fans. But a little slow and anticlimactic, and somewhat disappointing overall. Once is enough.
Plot summary
The special details the events before, during, and after Shatner's life-changing flight - which made him the oldest person to ever travel to the cosmos - and the growing friendship between the Star Trek icon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, whose dreams of space travel, like many, were inspired by the original Star Trek series.

Worth Watching
Positive and inspirational
A few are doing what the vast majority of us can only dream of. That's true. But, I really enjoy watching these people do it! Because space is and remains a place of longing. And I don't think space travelers are neglecting Earth. On the contrary, almost everyone sees their vulnerability from a distance. And I can gladly overlook the fact that Jeff Bezos and his company are presented in a good light. In a way, they deserve it.
I love William Shatner. I despise Jeff Bezos.
Someone wrote a profoundly racist rant against white people in his or her review. I do not view all rich white men as evil, but I consider Jeff Bezos the embodiment of pure evil. I skipped beyond every biographical detail about him and his opinions about the flight. I could not care less.
But I loved to see Shatner's reaction to the things that he viewed. It was moving and touching. He was honest and raw about his feelings throughout the entire documentary.
I am also glad that they added a lot of Glen de Vries footage. He died shortly after this experience. RIP.
