William Shatner, best known for playing Captain Kirk in “Star Trek,” has been announced as a guest at this year’s Motor City Comic Con.

Actor William Shatner and Audrey Powers, Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations, will fly on board New Shepard NS-18. They will join crewmates Chris Boshuizen and Glen de Vries for the flight.

As William Shatner prepares to be beamed up at age 90 for his first real-life space flight, he’s bringing out the awe in people around a rural Texas spaceport.
