William Shatner | Born: 1931

Star Trek actor William Shatner is ready to prove that he is worthy of his place in the Star Trek Universe by going to space. At age 90, the actor holds the record of being the oldest man to go to space. According to reports, a Blue Origin rocket, powered by the necessary gas, launched him into space on October 13, and people were ecstatic about it.

Prior to him conquering space, Shatner was a trained stage actor with a specialization in Shakespearean plays. He did not always have it easy — when Star Trek was canceled in 1969, he had difficulty looking for a job, but he did everything he could to get a stable career. He even entered the world of advertising, being the pitchman of several major logos like Promise margarine and Priceline.com. Of course, all of that is behind him, because everyone knows that he was able to bounce back.
