William Shatner after launching to space: "I hope I never recover from this"

William Shatner descended from a Blue Origin space capsule Wednesday overwhelmed by the experience of launching to space aboard the company's rocket.
The 90-year-old actor and "Star Trek" star was emotional — and occasionally at a loss for words — as he stood at the landing site in the West Texas desert describing the flight to the man who made it possible.
"What you have given me is the most profound experience I can imagine," he told Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, who hugged and stood alongside Shatner right after the spaceflight. "I'm so filled with emotion about what just happened. I just, it's extraordinary, extraordinary. I hope I never recover from this. I hope that I can maintain what I feel now. I don't want to lose it."
