If you saw the whole thing Bezos turned away from him while he was talking and said to the others who were pulling out bottles of champagne, “Hey, I want one of those.” Then he turns to Shatner and says “You want one?” Only after Bezos had uncorked his bottle and sprayed champagne everywhere did he turn back to Shatner.

Bezos doesn’t need advertisement, he has wealthy people lined up for miles to take his carnival ride.

I thought that his comments were kind of profound... the way he talked about life and death.  It's almost like he is contemplating on what it's going to be like when he dies.  He talked about going from light to darkness in a split second.  He also talked about how delicate and fragile things are as it relates to the universe.

On a side note, he looks very good for a man who is 90 years old.  There is no doubt that his mind still works like he is 30 years younger.
