William Shatner became known worldwide as James T. Kirk; the captain of the USS Enterprise in the original Star Trekseries (1966) and numerous feature films. For many science fiction fans, Shatner is a legend and the Amazon billionaire thinks the same. He plans to take “Captain Kirk” to space in his Blue Origin rocket.

By the way, “Captain Kirk” is not the first member of the Enterprise crew to go into space. When millionaire Richard Garriott visited the International Space Station, he smuggled ashes from the body of actor James Doohan (aka Scotty) on board. The ashes were incorporated into a few photos left in space by Garriott (to hide that it was Doohan’s body).
It is not yet clear exactly when Jeff Bezos and William Shatner will go to space, but it will likely be in October 2021.
