Eleven Minutes
A Russian actor and a film director just spent 12 days on the International Space Station, on a mission to film the world’s first movie in orbit. Meanwhile, 90-year old William Shatner’s eleven minutes in space were postponed until high winds abated. As Captain James Kirk of the Starship Enterprise he wouldn’t have allowed a mere wind to prevent him from boldly going wherever he intended, but that was fiction and Shatner’s trip is in real life. And Kirk would never have admitted to ‘feeling comfortable but also uncomfortable’ about his pending voyage. I’m not sure how deep into space he’ll go but doubt he’ll experience warp speed or get beamed anywhere. Scotty won’t be aboard, having passed away in 2005.
I heard somewhere . . . contd.
