Bid him up! William Shatner auctions 'Star Trek' figure flown on NASA missionSpaceflight and "Star Trek" fans take note: now may be your only chance to own an artifact from the real-life intersection of a NASA mission and James T. Kirk.
William Shatner, who famously portrayed the captain of the Starship Enterprise on the original "Star Trek" television series, is auctioning off his "Captain Kirk in Environmental Suit" action figure that launched aboard NASA's first Orion spacecraft in 2014.
