William Shatner heading into Space
10-04-2021, 01:30 PM
At 90 years of age, William Shatner is
heading into space on the next Blue Origin flight. No word on whether he's got the big seat in the middle.

Can you imagine being the two people sat next to him?
Like those two bright-eyed and red-shirted starfleet officers who we never met until moments before they beamed down with Kirk to Murderworld IV to investigate the mysterious reports of a whole group of innocent colonists turned inside out.
Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.

More like the (blue uniform) Science department mission specialists in this case. Who actually got killed more often than the iconic redshirts in TOS...

Nah, the big question actually is, will he find a Green Skinned Space Babe to fall in love with before the episode trip is over?

He's back from his 11-minute trip, and apparently he's been affected by it in much the same way as many astronauts were. He was all but in tears talking to Jeff Bezos after landing.

"It's so... beautiful ... Jeff. The ... Earth is so ... blue ... and round!" - W. Shatner to J. Bezos, probably
