Cool....
Legendary Star Trek actor William Shatner, 90, is set to become the oldest man ever in space as part of the second crew to travel with Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.

Is it morbid to think it'd be quite poetic if he doesn't make it back...?

Luv the bit where Bezos cuts him off, calls for the champagne and then offers him some - what a dickhead
Shatner was certainly moved by the experience

Re: Space Stuff and the Such.
The James Webb space telescope launches Christmas day.
Around 12.20PM UK time, 11.20PM Sydney time.
If it doesn't blow up and manages to unfurl properly the pictures from that are going to be amazing.

Re: Space Stuff and the Such.
If JWST makes it to L2 and completes all its deployment stages it will be a massive achievement. Really looking forward to seeing the images come back from this observatory.
