William Shatner's Blue Origin space trip delayed by weather At age 90, Shatner would be the oldest person sent to space, but he'll have to wait another day to get there.

If he goes, his age will break the record of that famous Clinton-covering quid pro quo piece of space luggage, the former astronaut/monkey replacement from Ohio.

Well, once he finally goes, he’ll be even older.

Yes, do SpaceX and actually go into space instead of the wimpy high-altitude flight. I'm sure he's got the money and it would be a better advertising. Can Captain Kirk handle a few days in weightless space?

And "training" for tourists should not be months. Might be fun but heck, they will be tourists, not crew!

For disclosure

I like Musk

I am overall fond of Branson’s èlan

Not a fan of Bezos

I do not trust Bezos either, but you know DAMNED well he (Bezos) wants everything to go well. He does NOT want to be known for time immemorial as “the man that killed Captain Kirk”.

As for The Shat, I find it somehow apropos that Capt. James T. Kirk, the man who could travel the stars at warp speed powered only by his considerable libido, is going into space aboard a spacecraft that looks, for all intents and purposes, like a giant rocket-powered dildo with fins.
