Shatner says a lot to be honest, he doesn’t mind cashing in on comercial crap when it suits him though. Maybe he changed his mind and he likes the planet now?
William Shatner Felt Crushed When He Finally Made It to Space. Here’s Why
William Shatner has made headlines this week with the announcement that his trip into space wasn’t the celebration or high note he thought it would be – instead, it felt like a “funeral for planet Earth”.
Yeah, that was a bit heart wrenching, watching him realise we are all doomed unless we get the hell out of our own mess. This article brings tears to the eyes.

I guess this will become part of the service – the priest closes your socials or sets them to family only, or keep live for others to post comments on. I guess for some like this company, its going to be a big part of the service, if people want it to be as they can grab some milestones and images to use in the farewel and give people a link to their relatives digital lives forever more.
