Beam Me Up Bezos! Star Trek Star William Shatner Headed To Space
The star of the popular space franchise “Star Trek” is headed to space, according to reports from TMZ. Here are the details on William Shatner going to space.
What Happened: Shatner will board the second civilian flight from Blue Origin, the space company founded by Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos.
Shatner celebrated his 90th birthday in March. The “Star Trek” actor will become the oldest person in space, surpassing the record set on the last Blue Origin space flight by 82 year old Wally Funk, who broke a former John Glenn record.
The flight will happen in October aboard a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, according to the reports.
The 15-minute space flight will be recorded as a documentary that is currently being shopped to media outlets.
No other passengers have been announced for the flight, and it is unclear how much Shatner is paying as a passenger on the Blue Origin rocket.
While this will be Shatner’s first physical trip to space, his name was one of more than two million that were included on the InSight Mars rover by NASA in 2018.
Shatner will also technically be the second member of “Star Trek” to go to space, as the ashes of his co-star James Doohan who played Scotty were sent to space aboard a rocket from SpaceX in 2012.
