Not a joke, apparently. Had to confirm this before posting.
At 90 years old, actor William Shatner has been selected by Jeff Bezos' company Blue Origin to become the oldest person into space. A ten-minute hop, no more than 66 miles above the Earth. But dayim....talk about life imitating art! Then again it could give new meaning to space being a "final frontier" for Bill.
Apparently actors Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill had no comment.
Can't help but wonder what George Takei thought, but I suspect it couldn't be printed.
