William Shatner Going To Outer Space: Tribute
3Hello Recorders!
Fifty-five years after his debut as Captain Kirk in the cult-classic TV series "Star Trek," William Shatner, now 90, is finally launching to the final frontier for real Wednesday, becoming the oldest person to fly in space courtesy of Jeff Bezos and his rocket company Blue Origin.
Shatner will join Chris Boshuizen, founder of Earth-observation company Planet Labs; microbiologist Glen de Vries; and Blue Origin's Audrey Powers for blastoff on a 10-minute up-and-down flight out of the discernible atmosphere to the edge of space.
Running a day late because of high winds, liftoff from Blue Origin's West Texas launch site is now targeted for 10 a.m. EDT on Wednesday.
In an interview with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings," Shatner joked that he'll be able to brag about the age record. But he said his actual motivation was "to have the vision. I want to see space. I want to see the Earth. I want to see what we need to do to save Earth."
