Captain William Shatner Goes To Space
Get all the latest news, live updates & top stories on William Shatner
CNN - William 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 onto suggest that Shatner, the actor best known for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk on "Star Trek," served as a symbol for humanity's extraterrestrial hopes and dreams. "Who is William Shatner?" Frank asked. "He's just an actor, but James T. Kirk, he is...a part of our imagination about a vibrant human future that includes space, so I think that's really the importance of James Kirk being in space today."

We celebrate William’s 93rd birthday, and he talks about not seeing his own documentary, what wisdom he has to share in his older age, living in a truck after Star Trek ended, going to Space on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, being emotional during the trip, and since he didn’t love the way he delivered his dying line “Oh my” as Captain Kirk, Jimmy gives him a chance to redo it.
