Captain Kirk is (Literally) Going to Space

On October 12th, William Shatner will fully embody his beloved and iconic character Captain Kirk, literally blasting off into space with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin. 

Joining the space travel company’s second, up-and-down launch with a crew at 90-years-old, Shatner will become the oldest person in space. 

“I’ve heard about space for a long time now,” says the Star Trek original, “I’m taking the opportunity to see it for myself. What a miracle.”
