Legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner is set to become the oldest man ever in space as part of the second crew to travel with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.

Engage
This had to happen.
“To boldly go…”
I’m glad it happened.
Now cut that out
Sure, I guess I can see the attraction....
Going where no Star Trek character has gone before.
Good for him.
I wonder what the max g-force is he will experience?
That was Shatner auditioning for Fight Club, BTW...
He should boldly go all the way out on Musk’s ship.

Video of Shatner emoting .....
Maybe this space shot will cause Shatner to finally let go and openly express his emotions that his inhibitions have kept suppressed.
It’s a shame Ricardo Montalban isn’t still alive to come along.
George Takei is waiting to ride a probe to Uranus.
