In this era of commercial space flights, it was just a matter of time before some of the space movies and series actors take the trip themselves. This is going to happen later this month, when captain Kirk takes the flight aboard Amazon’s craft. The actor is 90 years old and, if the flight proceeds as planned, he will become the oldest among space travelers. The rumors about his flight have been swirling around for a number of years, but it finally seems that the flight is a realistic possibility.
Key Takeaways:
- Blue Origin, a privately funded space-flight service is garnering publicity with its October
12/ 13 flight, which is slated to include the legendary William Shatner.- (Weather caused the delay of the (successful) launch and execution to October 13th, watch the video).
- Shatner, now 90, will be the oldest recorded person to fly in space.
- This is only the 2nd blue origin flight with actual passengers. Shatner will be one of four.
“While initial rumors of the trip had begun to surface last week, both Blue Origin and Shatner himself have now officially confirmed that the trip will be going ahead.”
