Star Trek actor to be launched into space
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. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58792761

It should be great for Shatner to do this. The guy spent his entire life on a makeshift spaceship in a makeshift space.

I wonder if Scotty and him will exchange waves when he's up there.

Well now all humanity knows across the planet William Shatner is an Actor. Yes William is a human and reacted just like any 90yr old that got to go on the Ultimate tourist ride. Thank you Jeff Bezos you Killed Captain Kirk! Now we have a 90 yr old actor babbling about a thin blue and black space of death.Cause your fikin rocket could not get him high enough to see the fikin stars of real space. Thank you Jeff, how about sending Greta Thunberg next time.

Hey. He's the 1st Star Ship Captain to leave the freaking Earth for near space.
Don't see Sir Patrick Stewart matching that.

^ Fake In every episode of TOS there was always one of the red shirts who died. If not in almost every episode.
