William Shatner has boldly gone where no 90-yearold has ever gone before. The famed Star Trek actor and three other private crew members launched into space on 13 October on a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket, marking the second time that Blue Origin has successfully launched a crewed suborbital mission on its vehicle for space tourism. Dubbed NS-18, it was the 18th flight of a New Shepard vehicle overall. “That was unlike anything they described,” Shatner was heard saying via a radio link as the capsule parachuted back to Earth.
