Captain Kirk heading to space.. for real!

[1001001]

All I've got to say is, if he goes through with it, they simply must have a brief ceremony where they make him honorary captain for a couple of minutes of the flight. And as his only official act, he should rename the vessel, Enterprise.

The mission commander can switch it back once Shatner's brief captaincy is over.

It's only right.

Screw that.

He should Decker the captain and take full command!

 

[M'Sharak]

Screw that.

He should Decker the captain and take full command!

And then, suddenly...



... everything stops.

 

[Maurice]

Screw that.

He should Decker the captain and take full command!

And then the rocket will be destroyed because he only knows the ship a tenth as well.

I’ll be playing “The Doomsday Machine” theme during the launch. In case of a scrub:

GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN!

William Shatner on Twitter: "So now I can say something. Yes, it’s true; I’m going to be a “rocket man!” " / Twitter

I hope he sings "Rocket Man". And i hope this is 100% successful. He is amazing.

If he sings that song, the other astronauts might jettison him into deepest, darkest outer space.

that is pretty incredible when you think about it. Captain Kirk.. actually going into space.. a real astronaut!

even non fans would have to admit that is pretty amazing

So THIS is what its like being 90 years old and have nothing else to do.

 

[E-DUB]

There's got to be an "Ancient Astronauts" joke in there somewhere.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

This is cool on metaphysical levels. It's akin to Armin Shimerman suddenly becoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve...

Hold on, now. If I'm still posting at 90 watch out.

I have nothing to do NOW.

"Blow the airlock"
"But that'll kill us!"
"I know. Blow the airlock."

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Shatner rides his horse to the launch site. Just because.

 

[cooleddie74]

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Shatner."

"No Yeoman?"

"Not on your flight, no. We're egomaniacs, not stupid."

We're now just under seven days to launch, on the morning of October 12. And we'll be able to see it live online.
According to yesterday's press release from Blue Origin:

Live launch coverage begins on BlueOrigin.com at T-90 minutes. Liftoff is currently targeted for 8:30 am CDT / 13:30 UTC from Launch Site One in West Texas.

Can he be sued for copyright infringement if he's wearing a Starfleet uniform or accessories? Hmm...

 

[Push The Button]

Oh, he so needs to be wearing his Starfleet uniform for this.

 

[XCV330]

I suspect he'll wear the Blue Origin jumpsuit like everyone else.

Once again, ENT wins

 

[Spock's Barber]

Oh, he so needs to be wearing his Starfleet uniform for this.

I’m conflicted : should he wear this...

...or this?
