'Star Trek' actor William Shatner, along with three other crewmembers, has completed a successful sub-orbital space trip aboard Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin rocket. At 90, Shatner is now the oldest person to reach space.
Shatner's spaceflight is a "testament to the human imagination," astrophysicist saysWilliam Shatner's journey into space this morning is much bigger than tourism for the ultra-wealthy but a symbol of the power of the human imagination, Adam Frank, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Rochester, said today.
Frank went on to suggest that Shatner, an actor best known for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk on"Star Trek," served today as symbol for humanity's extraterrestrial hopes and dreams. Frank went on to say he hoped that as mankind continues to fix its gaze again on the heavens, it might become easier to come together to solve problems on Earth.
