Jeff Bezos’ private space travel company Blue Origin has announced that it will take William Shatner, who was previously remembered for his role in Star Trek, into space. This plan is still valid, but the date has been slightly changed.
The day William Shatner, known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk, would go into space with Blue Origin’s vehicle was set for October 12. The 90-year-old actor’s journey into orbit remains unchanged. However, the launch was delayed one day due to weather conditions.
He will be the oldest person in space
Known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk and becoming one of the most legendary names in space-themed science fiction movies, William Shatner will go into Earth orbit with Blue Origin’s New Shepherd vehicle. This vehicle, which previously carried Jeff Bezos and his brother, will also enable 90-year-old Shatner to receive the title of “oldest person in space”. The famous actress will be accompanied by Blue Origin’s Vice President of Flight and Missions Audrey Powers, former NASA engineer Chris Boshuizhen and Medidata co-founder Glen de Vries.
Since the weather conditions will not be suitable on the runway where the take-off will take place, the take-off will be on 13 October instead of 12 October, which shows windy. Expressing that he is afraid of flying, William Shatner will start his journey from the company’s take-off area in Texas at 16.30 Turkish time.
