William Shatner is going to space next week (for real)

More than 50 years after the Star Trek franchise took TV audiences to alien worlds, William Shatner will visit space aboard a Blue Origin spacecraft. Shatner, right, is seen here with castmates Nichelle Nichols and Leonard Nimoy in a 1967 episode of the show.

At age 90, the Star Trek actor is poised to become the oldest person ever to visit space. “It’s never too late to experience new things,” Shatner said on Monday.
