In the late 1960s, the American TV drama ‘Star Trek’ was very popular with the plot of the adventures of a spaceship.
Actor William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk, embarked on a real space journey at the age of 90.
Aboard the American space company Blue Origin’s rocket spacecraft led by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
“Countdown 2.1. Launch”
Like the first flight in July, it soared to an altitude of 106 km and experienced microgravity for about 3 minutes, crossing the ‘Karman Line’, which is called the boundary between the earth and the universe.
He then returned safely to the Texas desert.
It was a short 10 minute space trip.
Bezos personally opened the capsule door and welcomed the safe return of Earth’s oldest space traveler.

This launch is Blue Origin’s second space tour to the general audience.
Blue Origin launched a spaceship carrying four civilian passengers, including Bezos, on July 20, and in three months, Shatner’s dream of space travel was also successful.
Shatner’s space trip was accompanied by three people: a former NASA engineer, a medical entrepreneur and a vice president of Blue Origin.
Shatner’s space tour was free, but Blue Origin did not disclose how much other passengers paid for the space tour.
