Shatner to boldly go where no 90 year old has gone before

[Wizzfizz]

Nice PR stunt

He could live another 20 years considering he's in good shape, I don't think people who are 90 are suicidal because they're old

I don't think he is suicidal but people are saying he shouldn't go because he is 90... I say he doesn't have much to lose. Very very few people live with good health much past 90..

you'd think he would hold out for spacex instead seems way better an experience and musk probably would do it to get one up on bezos

Musk can always offer Patrick Stewart a free seat

 

[jsmoke]

He looks bloody good for 90

Blood transfusions no doubt.

Musk can always offer Patrick Stewart a free seat

Then Bezos can get Janeway.

You guys are slacking , 2 pages and not one mention of his Toupee in Space?

 

[Haggisman]

Since when has he been 90? Can't be that long.

I would make an educated guess at somewhere between 1 and 364 days.

I didn't realise he was Canadian and always assumed he was American. Why does the great James T Kirk want to go up in something shaped like a toy from Love Honey? Stick a couple of boosters on the sides and it would be like that scene from the first Austin Powers film where they picked it up on radar.

Nice PR stunt

I think that's sort of the point considering they sell seats on board, it's hardly a secret

As long as Shatner does not wear a red shirt, he'll be fine!!!!

How long can a 90 year old sustain 6g those are brittle bones and organs about to be squished within an inch of their life.

Agreed, he's gonna have to kling on for dear life.

Russians stole the march on Tom Cruise to make a movie in space then - gazumping first actor in space too.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/10/05/entertainment/russian-film-crew-space-launch-scn/index.html

Veteran Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, actor Yulia Peresild and film producer Klim Shipenko traveled to the International Space Station on Tuesday. Peresild and Shipenko will be filming segments for the movie "Challenge" -- the first feature film shot in space.

if the film includes surgery ... that should be interesting, but,
after hearing recently about the real Arctic doctor who removed his own appendix that would take some beating.

Yea wtf, how does he look that good at 90

Agree, it's highly illogical that a man could reach that age and still be fit enough for space flight.
