It was reported that when he got back from his space trip he begged Musk to do more to fight climate change.
Then there is that little thing about his drowned wife.
But on this he seems to be on the right side so good for him.
It was a Bezos ship
That’s stupid and cruel for you to imply he had anything to do with the death of his wife.
And what a jackass he must be. An actor who played a super famous space role. He gets to the edge of space and overcome with emotion he wants the earth protected a little.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself to look for ways to go after a decent man.
As for his wife. He and all around him knew she was an alcoholic and he tried several times to help her out of it.’
“Shatner’s third wife was Nerine Kidd, whom he married in 1997. Returning home at around 10 p.m. on August 9, 1999, he found her lying lifeless at the bottom of their backyard swimming pool. She was forty years old. Once an autopsy had revealed that her blood contained both alcohol and diazepam, the coroner decided that the cause of her death was accidental drowning and the Los Angeles Police Department, agreeing that there was no evidence of foul play, closed its file on the case. Speaking to the press shortly after his wife’s death while visibly still in a state of shock, Shatner said that she had “meant everything” to him and described her as his “beautiful soulmate”.[130] He urged the public to support Friendly House, a non-profit organization that helps women to rebuild their lives after trying to free themselves from alcoholism or other forms of drug addiction.[131] He later told Larry King in an interview that “my wife, whom I loved dearly, and who loved me, was suffering with a disease that we don’t like to talk about: alcoholism. And she met a tragic ending because of it”.[130]
In his 2008 book Up Till Now: The Autobiography, Shatner disclosed how Leonard Nimoy, himself no stranger to alcoholism, had done his best to try to avert the tragedy that Kidd’s affliction threatened:
Leonard Nimoy’s personal experience of alcoholism now came to play a central role in my life and it helped us bond together in a way I never could have imagined in the early days of Star Trek. After Nerine and I had been to dinner with Leonard and Susan Nimoy one evening, Leonard called and said: “Bill, you know she’s an alcoholic?” I said I did. I married Nerine in 1997, against the advice of many and my own good sense. But I thought she would give up alcohol for me. We had a celebration in Pasadena, and Leonard was my best man. I woke up about eight o’clock the next morning and Nerine was drunk. She was in rehab for 30 days three different times. Twice she almost drank herself to death. Leonard (sober many years) took Nerine to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, but she did not want to quit.”
