The one and only William Shatner is heading to space. But for REAL this time. He’ll be accompanying Amazon founder Jeff Bezos aboard Blue Origin’s lower Earth orbit next month. Shatner, who just turned 90, is familiar with starships, albeit the original Enterprise from “Star Trek.”
The initial report indicated the trip was part of a documentary, and that Shatner’s 15-minute mission would be part (if not the main focus) of the project.
Shatner will become the oldest person in history to experience space flight. He’ll surpass Wally Funk, who was 82 on his mission.
Also, he just dropped an album last week.
We’ll let you know what we find out about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
