Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh yeah I saw this a few days ago (on r/space I think) and it made me infuriated. Like Shatner obviously had the Overview Effect while no else seemingly had it.
As the video of inside the capsule showed Shatner was the only one glued to the window while everyone else (like on the first launch months ago) was doing flips, flinging food and rough housing (although some did enjoy the view nome had not having an epiphany like Shatner).
Like i never expected Bezos to be humbled when he first flew up obviously he's a ghoul. But none of the other passengers? Just doesn't give me hope for humanity to finally see that we're a blue dot.
Lmao the wikipedia article already has shatner listed as someone who has experienced the Overview Effect. It has him listed as a "space tourist" lol
Honestly, if you don't get that feeling just flying on a jet plane and looking out the window, you don't deserve to go to space.
