William Shatner will blast off next Tuesday on a Blue Origin rocket, becoming the oldest man to ever fly in space. 8-)

Ground control to Major Shatner? Take your Metamucil and put your helmet on! :lol:

All jokes aside you gotta admit he's a badass for his age 8-) He sure has lived long, and prospered. I can only hope I'm half as spry as Shatner when I'm 90.

Godspeed Captain Kirk!
Finally broke down and went to see a psychologist. She told me I just have an overactive imagination—and it really excited her. We're going sinking next weekend. Theo's AI Quicksandbox New stuff every weekend (unless life gets in the way)

As much fun as people will have with this I'm very happy for him. it's neat to see the lines of science fiction and reality beginning to cross a bit. Wonder if he'll be wearing a Star Fleet uniform?
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.

On a side note, today is the 60th anniversary of the first Chimpanzee launched into space.
