The actor who played Captain Kirk in the Star Trek series is set to embark on a real-life journey into space.
US tech billionaire Jeff Bezos's space travel company Blue Origin confirmed that William Shatner would be blasting off from Texas on 12 October.
Aged 90, the actor will become the oldest person to have flown into space.
"I've heard about space for a long time now. I'm taking the opportunity to see it for myself. What a miracle," Shatner said in a statement.
