The last 12 months have seen a flurry of activity beyond our atmosphere including a trio of trips to space and the edge of space by citizens with no prior astronaut training.

One of those trips to space was the Inspiration4 mission that was successfully conducted over three days by SpaceX. That mission was the subject of a Netflix documentary that you can still watch right now here.

Now, William Shatner’s trip to space aboard the Blue Origin NS-18 mission is set to become a documentary that will be available on Amazon Prime.

The documentary dubbed “Shatner in Space” lands on Amazon Prime on 15th December in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The exact date it will release outside of those countries is unclear but Deadline reports it will be added in early 2022.

As we reported after his trip was over, Shatner was clearly moved by the experience and was likely overcome by the overview effect.

Shatner in Space will offer a behind-the-scenes look at what happened before, after and during the trip. We’re hoping we get a close look at how space tourism would operate for the lay person. That having been said, with tickets to space costing a small fortune, we use “space tourism” rather loosely.

“This special documenting my journey gives a dramatic view of that experience, and my hope is that it inspires the world to see we must go to space to save Earth,” Shatner said in a statement to Deadline.

While we understand what Shatner is trying to say here, we think many folks understand that Earth needs saving and they don’t need to go to space to understand that.

We’re keen to see the documentary if only to see what happens behind the scenes at Blue Origin in greater detail.
