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.

The 90-year-old actor will take off in the New Shepard capsule in October for a 15-minute civilian flight, according to TMZ.

The Blue Origin flight will be recorded for a documentary that was rejected by Discovery and is now being negotiated by Shatner's team somewhere else.

I suspect this will probably trigger that flaming butt pirate George Takei. He hates Shatner.

"He should boldly go all the way out on Musk’s ship."

My thought, too. Blue Origin is really nothing more than a glorified vomit comet.

Assume he will be named as the captain of that flight, it is only right.

Will his host really believe him if he sees the monster again up there?

“Sure, Bill, cut it out. Stop putting us on, man.”

He’s one of my two favorite Canadians -the other being Michael Ironside.

“I suspect this will probably trigger that flaming butt pirate George Takei. He hates Shatner.”

And the feeling is mutual.

I recall watching one of those (uncensored) Comedy Central roasts a few years back.

Shatner, referring to Takei: “I’ve always hated that little co*****ker.”

I about fell off my chair laughing.

Shatner: Jeffy, is this as fast as this jalopy can go?

Bezos: Captain, I’m giving her all she’s got.

"Love of my life. Sorry, husband."

My daughter-in-law loves Shatner too!

You got that right. His kiddie bounce house is no match for Musks falcon 9/Dragon capsule combo. And the starship will make that look primative( in a few years.)

I didn’t know that Blue Origin had a heavy-life capability!

For the right amount of money he will.

LOL

Tiny Takei is always the butt of jokes, fundamentally.
