Captain James Kirk, played by Canadian actor William Shatner, finally made the trip to the final frontier as one of 4 passengers on the latest Blue Origin flight. At age 90, Shatner became the oldest person to take part in the flight. After a return to Earth, Shatner explained in a very emotional talk to Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos, that it was the most profound experience of his life and that everyone needs to experience it. A good idea.

William Shatner after becoming the oldest person to reach space:

“I am so filled with emotion about what just happened. It’s extraordinary, extraordinary … I hope that I can maintain what I feel now, I don’t want to lose it.”https://t.co/nrLuu43XsD pic.twitter.com/XytPxkk7va
