I could never stand that ham actor Shatner. Who even pays attention to that old fart? I certainly do not.
You and me both....
It was a fun show, when I was a kid; and you have to admit that he has staying power.
What interested me in the videos I saw was that while the other people on the flight were doing acrobatics in weightlessness, Shatner seemed fascinated to just sit in front of the window and look at Earth. And when he came back, he spoke almost rapturously about that view and vision.
I don’t think the experience was wasted on him.
