It’s payback time. For all those times, as children, our parents compared us to other kids and their achievements. Now call yours up, mention Shatner at 90 going to space and ask what they did today.

It’s not that I object to William Shatner in space but we deserved a fierce debate about whether Sigourney Weaver should go first.

William Shatner is the oldest person to go into space, and the first person in space to ask "Anyone else cold?"

How can anyone ever beat the publicity stunt of sending William Shatner – Captain Kirk – into space

Unless they can give Daniel Radcliffe actual magical powers, this entire genre of marketing is now complete. There is no where left to (boldly) go.

We’ll leave you with William Shatner’s tweet from after the flight, which went full Eric Cantona with this very, VERY deep quotation from Sir Isaac Newton.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, diverting myself in now & then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.🚀 pic.twitter.com/ZY2Ka8ij7z

Jeff Bezos will have Trekkers to answer to if he’s broken Captain Kirk.
