A CNN segment showing William Shatner emotionally describing his Blue Origin suborbital flight to Jeff Bezos right after landing.

HN mentions it mostly critically, calling the clip clickbait, or to point out how early the Bezos moment occurs.

> there was more that happened before that bit It was after this bit. Probably when Bezos realized the optics. > or which was edited cynically, got an inaccurate impression Ironic to be posting an inaccurate comment, while lamenting inaccuracy... Here, you can see just how early this happens: ▶ this video

@vjerancrnjak2022 · in “William Shatner experienced profound grief in space. It was the overview effect”

There's a longer video that shows he listened to him until the end. I think the one you linked is just clickbait. ▶ this video

@ryandrake2021 · in “The Overview Effect – William Shatner's Words After Returning from Space”

The clip [1] was kind of gross. Shatner is standing there, trying to make a thoughtful, serious, genuine statement about his feelings, and Bezos is repeatedly turning his head away, looking at everything else, like a kid distracted by an iPad. The champaign popping and the women in the big sunglasses yelling "wooooooo" like they're at a dance club was just icing on the cake. Finally, after all the horseplay was done, he turned back and gave the guy a chance to articulate. 1: ▶ this video
