William Shatner Books Trip to Final Frontier
Blue Origin rocket will carry TV's Captain Kirk, age 90 - William Shatner is scheduled to get a taste of a genuine space flight. TV's Captain Kirk has a seat on the next Blue Origin flight, TMZ reports. The first was successfully completed in July, with owner Jeff Bezos aboard. The drill on the October trip will be similar: a 15-minute trip after a takeoff from Texas, reaching an altitude of 66 miles or so and experiencing zero gravity for a few minutes, then a parachute landing of the capsule. At age 90, the Star Trek star would become the oldest person ever in space. According to the international standard, the final frontier begins 62 miles out. Shatner has lobbied for a mission before. He tweeted a photo in a photoshopped spacesuit last year to NASA, per the Independent. Shatner wanted to go to the International Space Station on a SpaceX trip, tweeting, "Just in case; the suit does fit!" Full fare would be expensive, but Shatner's ticket might be complimentary, per TMZ. |

Fuck the homophobe Funny then that he rode Dr. Evil's penis on a sub-orbital flight. The irony was not lost on me but apparently ol Billy didn't catch on that he was being launched into space inside a dick. ------------------------- "Most people would die sooner than think; in fact, they do." - Bertrand Russell "Morality is doing what is right, regardless of what you are told.

That is not Dr Evil's ship. Please Google "Flesh Gordon rocket" and select images. Ah the '70s. How I miss you.
