there you see jeff bezos in the driver's seat. next to him, i believe that's glen de vries, ready to go. kristin fisher is there in west texas at the launch site. a lot of buildup to this moment. did we know that jeff bezos was going to drive them? >> reporter: we did not. and, you know, one of the other things that we're watching right now is that the countdown clock has just hit a hold. unclear exactly why. you'll remember on sunday, blue origin announced there was a one-day delay due to high winds. we're in the middle of a desert here in west texas, wide open spaces. not a lot of rain, which is good. but there is quite a bit of wind. that wind caused one delay from tuesday to wednesday and then a second delay of about 30 minutes. so wind has been a big concern here. it is not too bad from what i can tell, where i'm standing, a few miles away from the laun launchpad, but certainly something to watch. i'm not saying that is the reason for this delay that we're seeing right now. this hold. but you can see the crew very happy, exci

there's jeff bezos in the driver's seat getting ready with the team. of course he will not be part of this mission. we're now 41 minutes away from blue origin's second manned space flight. right now the four are set to launch into space. it includes william shatner there leaving the training center for the launch pad. it will not be long before they go past the final frontier. can you believe we're saying that for real? you can see them getting ready right here on your screen. you know, it's these minutes. i was there in july, and there's this sort of excitement but also fear. remember, they are going to be launching, people watch this rocket launch and then, you know, minutes later when suddenly it goes out of sight. there's that sense of panic, but you know, when you speak to anyone on the blue origin team, i spoke to mark bezos who was part of the mission over the summer in the last few days who said this is all about safety, safety, safety. audry powers is going to be part of this mission. she joined blue origin in 2013. she is in charge of this ro

there right now, you are watching jeff bezos close the door for the last time. you saw all four passengers of this unmanned flight indoors, they closed the door, and it was bezos himself who closed it. scott, can you tell us -- can you help us understand what we're looking at? >> well, i think it's exciting for the people inside the rocket. it's actually exciting for me, too. one of my earliest memories was watching apollo 11 land on the moon, but also my memory was crawling downstairs to sit behind the couch where my mother couldn't see my brother and i watching "star trek." so i'm excited to see william shatner to be able to have this opportunity. so hopefully, i would like to see some kids get up there with some science experiments, maybe some make-a-wish foundation people. but, yeah, this is bringing space accessibility to a much more broader audience. >> did you think you would see it in your lifetime, scott? >> i think so. i hope to have a couple of decades at least ahead of me. so if you think back about when we flew the first airplane in 1903. and 1969,

and lord founder, jeff bezos -- and amazon founder, jeff bezos. >> the second human spaceflight crew, what a launch, we are on our way to the first milestone here on his flight to space. , gaining speed on their climb to space, we have confirmed the max q. that's when the stress on the vehicle is at the maximum. >> thank you for joining us live for the second human flight with audrey powers, william shatner, and others on board. they're on their way to space. so far, a clean burn on our blue engine three. a beautiful flight to space this morning. the rocket is climbing towards an altitude just over the carmen line, the line of space of 100 kilometers, that is 328,000 feet. we have had main engine cut off, in just a moment we will separate the capsule from the booster. our astronauts will have the opportunity to get out of their harnesses and enjoy the beauties of zero g. that is way to listen. -- let us wait to listen. a clean separation from the capital and the booster. -- capsule and the booster. you can see the capsule from the top of the booster. they are continuing their ascent o

alix: we heard that from jeff bezos when he went up. one of his first reactions was we need to protect this at all costs, to that his zach point. william shatner briefly giving jeff bezos a hug, talking about mother earth, really spinning romantic tales of what it was like to be up there, even though he was up there for just a few moments. a really incredible trip. again, the second successful blue origin launch, with four individuals, two pay in, and of course, william shatner. i feel like he was to emotional to be cheesy. at one point it looked like he was starting to cry. a really wonderful 40 minutes of space. bloomberg's ed ludlow, we appreciate you sticking by with us. thank you very much. and keit -- and keith cowen, thank you very much as well. it was nice to get your perspective. guy: you didn't practice that when you were a kid? alix: i literally can't do it. i can't. it hurts too much.

captain kirk, hugging jeff bezos right now. let's watch. >> reporter: and glen devries. some big hugs from their loved ones. >> that's what i thought. work on it. it's so hard to describe. >> you have to work on it. not only is it different than what you thought. it goes so quickly. you know what my -- the impression i had that i never expected was that -- is you're shooting up -- >> give me a champagne bottle. i want one. i want to hear this. here. you want a little of this? >> there's champagne showers that become. smiles all around. william shatner taking in the moment, clearly. >> what you have done, if everybody in the world needs to do this. everybody in the world needs to see the -- it was unbelievable. unbelievable. i mean, you know, the little things, the weightlessness, but to see the blue color just whip by, and now you're staring at the blackness. that's the thing. the covering of blue is -- the steepest blanket, this comforter of blue that we have around us. we think well, that's blue sky. and suddenly you shoot there it and rip off a sheet like you're aslee

bezos. the champagne showers have begun. smiles all around. william shatner taking in the moment >> while the champagne bottles are open, we can probably suspend our coverage for a little bit congratulations to bezos and shatner and to the crew and blue origin, as once again, we see history getting made in this new era of space travel, morgan, which you covered and will continue to cover so beautifully. dow is off the initial intraday lows of about 230 or so. down 136 we'll take a short break and "techcheck" will continue in a moment and all their devices. or it could be the day there's a cyberthreat. only comcast business' secure network solutions give you the power of sd-wan and advanced security integrated on our activecore platform so you can control your network from anywhere, anytime. it's network management redefined. every day in business is a big day. we'll keep you ready for what's next. comcast business powering possibilities. >> let's listen to shatner talking about the flight >>

all eyes on william shatner, he's riding as the guest of jeff bezos. the man is 90 years old and he's going to be by far the oldest person ever to great into space. to him, blasting off at 90. a day to remember for everyone. wednesday october 13th, 2021, "varney and company" is about to begin. stuart: space cowboys, fine producing of music. and less than an hour, blue origin will launch its second spaceflight. fascinating to see you 90-year-old william shatner on board with three other crewmembers. kelly a grady in texas where the lunch is happening. >> the crew just suiting up and. the excitement is palpable. captain kirk himself will be on board but has quite a ride ahead of him. the rocket will be accelerating a three times the speed of sound. yesterday and inside look at a replica of the capsule he will be traveling in. >> inside the capsule, where the workers and crew will take the suborbital flight. two of the four passengers are playing. origin not released how much they are paying but their competitor version galactic selling seats for 250,$000

there is our founder jeff bezos giving the big thumb's up. >> [laughing]. >> very happy. >> whoo! >> [laughing]. >> audrey. >> here come your family and friends. >> [cheering]. >> stand by. >> harris: in case william shatner says something. there is screaming and champagne for some. the blue origin vice-president audrey powers on board and a former nasa engineer chris and lynn and of course space superstar william shatner. captain kirk. this is making news and history for a host of reasons. they are reusable engine here. something they can show the world is easier to put up into space than some of the other equipment we have seen in the decades we have been flying. you are putting people who want to experience this on board. they are calling them new astronauts. they are american citizens with a lot of cash. they are able to do this. you have that former nasa engineer. some people are teaching the next generation. it's always a lot more forceful to say that you have done something that is basically made for the lay man and apply the science to the way people may soon experience it

real competition between jeff bezos and elon musk. elon musk and space x have the contract with nasa at the moment -- pardon me. blue origin at the moment does not. i wouldn't give up on that, though. the infrastructure they have built here in the desert, this is not fly by night. they have built a tremendous infrastructure. they are planning to go long and deep and for the long term. >> i don't know if you were able to keep an eye on the images as you were talking with us, tom, but it looked like jeff bezos is knocking through the windows. it was hard to make out. >> i didn't get a clear view on my screen, but that would make sense. i know that he is doing everything he can to be there. and be a part of this. he even told me last night he was tempted stow away and take one of the extra seats but clearly he decided to stay on the ground. >> received letters from the previous passengers astronauts on the first blue origin flight and they said oh, you're so lucky we wish we could go back again. so i guess it's a little bit like a roller

jeff bezos, i believe, very aware of the criticism that's coming his way. he believes, along with elon musk and richard branson, that they are doing something that is ultimately going to better all of human kind. it's just these very wealthy patrons they believe have to pave the way. >> one measure of the fact that this is a business, as we approach t minus two minutes to launch is all the various ways to observe it. this is a drone shot around -- this is a company that wants to show it as it happens. what's happening right now, i think you can see it there in this shot, is the tower connection to the capsule, to the rocket, is being pulled back. these are all part of the rocket's built-in checks and steps pre launch, again as we approach just about 1:30 here. commander hadfield, what's happening inside that capsule right now as these final checks go into place? >> all eight eyeballs have -- this is for real now. this is no longer talking about it. this is opening night. so everybody is watching that and recognizing, wow, i've got one minute left on earth.

jeff bezos grew up a star trek and captain kirk fan and invited shatner to fly but for shatner this was far more than a ten-minute joyride. >> what you have given me is the most profound experience i have ever had i'm so filled with emotion about what just happened i hope that i can maintain what i feel now i don't want to lose it. >> reporter: soon after, we caught up with him on the landing pad. bill, you seemed emotional when you came down. >> i still am. i am overwhelmed by what i saw i saw death in the blackness of space. i saw life in the beauty and the warmth of earth. i am 90, close to death. did i see death? i don't know i'm moved by the enormous experience i just had. >> reporter: a deep appreciation for how fragile the earth truly is and for blue origin, mission accomplished >> yeah, tom speaking of mission accomplished, blue origin also got what it wanted today, which was a lot of free publicity. >> reporter: this was a stroke of marketing genius. by inviting captain kirk onboard this flight, blue origin ensured the world's media would come and cover it and we did. they have

is jeff bezos growing weed in space? i guess that explains why he calls it orbital reef. their hope is that orbital reef wll be some sort of destination for space tourists, like a hollywood boulevard in space. except for there people will have to urinate on the sidewalk in zero gravity. it will be fun to watch. the cost for orbital reef is expected to be in the tens of billions of dollars, which listen, i get it. space is cool and jeff bezos is rich, and without space travel we wouldn't have tang or that terrible dehydrated ice cream. but when they talk about spending tens of billions of dollars, you have to wonder which part of "the earth is on fire" isn't jeff bezos isn't understanding. is the plan to sit up there on your space station watching it burn?
