William Shatner rockets to space and back with Blue Origin - Cnet

 Panzer was shaken from his kitty nap by clapping and cheering coming from the Catosphere. A quick trip to the Cnet site showed our traveling kitty pilot William Shatner was the cause of all the noise.

Yeah, it was worth waking up for.

According to the post by Eric Mack, William Shatner (aka Captain Kirk) made his delayed trip to space and successful return today. The trip was planned for yesterday, but bad weather moved it to today. Today, he officially became the oldest person to go to space.

Panzer says, "Does he get his astronaut wings for his trip to space now?"

Note: This is a short medium post. Bring a cup of tea for today's exciting news.

Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos' Rocket Company, to Launch From Florida - The New York Times

My rocket is faster than yours.

Today Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere looking for something interesting to report on. Our inquisitive kitty boy stopped in at the New York Times site. It took a lot of digging, but he found a post about Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his rocket company. If you're like Panzer, you didn't know Mr. Bezos had a rocket company or was looking for a launch site.

According to the post by Kenneth Chang, Mr. Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin will have a factory in Florida near their new launch site at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Even though Mr. Bezos made the announcement personally, he didn't elaborate on what the rockets will be carrying.

Panzer says, "When did he go from books to outer space?"

Note: The post is located below the excerpt from Mr. Bezos' announcement. This is a r-e-a-l-l-y l-o-n-g post, so bring an e-n-o-r-m-o-u-s cup of tea.
