Or as the 90 year old actor puts it I do not want to be known as the oldest guy who went to space i am bloody Captain Kirk for Gods sake.
The actor master of the Shatner pause is indeed best known as Star Treks original Captain James T. Kirk. In swashbuckling style befitting Captain Kirk Shatner successfully blasted into suborbital space on Blue Origins New Shephard. He received a hearty handclasp from billionaire Jeff Bezos other potential astronauts can reserve a future seat here. The price of tickets has not yet been announced a previous bidder paid $28 million. However rumor has it that Captain Kirk got comped.
However the fantasy of space travel might be more fun than the reality. The good news is that a new museum show celebrating 55 years of Star Trek has just launched. Not everyone can be a space tourist but theres something for everyone from Trekkers to casual pop culture fans to enjoy at Star Trek Exploring New Worlds.
