Star Trek icon William Shatner has confirmed he will be making history as the oldest person in space when he blasts off on Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin flight on October 12.
Rumors suggesting Shatner would boldly go into space - just like his TV alter ego Captain Kirk - started circulating late last month, and on Monday, officials at Blue Origin confirmed the 90-year-old actor is cleared for take-off.
"I've heard about space for a long time now and I'm taking the opportunity to see it for myself," the actor said in a statement. "What a miracle."
The second flight for the Amazon boss' space company will launch from West Texas and last just 10 minutes.
The sci-fi star will be one of four passengers - two are paying customers and one is a Blue Origin employee, ABC News reports.
Blue Origin's first flight, with Bezos aboard, blasted off in July.
Shatner first played Star Trek's Captain Kirk on TV from 1966-1969. He has reprised the role in several films.
