WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Billionaire Jeff Bezos’s space company said Monday that “Star Trek” actor William Shatner will fly on board the company’s New Shepard launch vehicle as part of a four-person crew that will launch next week.
“I’ve heard about space for a long time now. I’m taking the opportunity to see it for myself. What a miracle,” Shatner said in a written statement released by Blue Origin ahead of the flight set for October 12.
