William Shatner lifts off on real space trek aboard Blue Origin rocket [i]William Shatner can now say he is an astronaut, and he played one on TV. The 90-year-old actor, who famously originated the role of James T. Kirk, captain of the Starship Enterprise, on the 1966 television series "Star Trek," became the oldest person to fly into space on Wednesday (Oct. 12). Shatner and his three crewmates lifted off on board Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket and flew 66 miles high (107 km) — just above the international boundary between Earth and space, earning them the title "astronaut."[/i]
