Consider This from NPR - For William Shatner, seeing Earth from space was moving and heartbreaking

A year ago, William Shatner, the actor who played Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series, boarded a Blue Origin rocket ship. At the age of 90, he became the oldest person to fly into space.

We hear from Shatner about "Boldly Go," the book he has since written about how that experience changed his outlook. And we also hear from Frank White, the author and philosopher who coined the term "Overview Effect" to describe experiences like Shatner's.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
