William Shatner will reportedly go where Jeff Bezos has gone before.

The Star Trek star is expected to head to space on an upcoming civilian flight of Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, TMZ reported on Friday. If he does take part in the planned flight with Bezos' company, that would make the 90-year-old actor the "oldest person ever to be launched into space," the report notes.
