Captain Kirk in space (for real)
Congratulations to Dr. Chris Boshuizen, Glen de Vries, Audrey Powers, and William Shatner for traveling into space on top of the Blue Origins New Shepard rocket. The Texas launch happened on the morning of October 13, 2021 14:49 UTC.
The 90-year-old Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series, is the first Star Trek actor to go into space and the oldest astronaut to boldly go beyond the Kármán line (100 km above sea level).
