Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.
After decades of playing Captain Kirk, William Shatner will be travelling to outer space for the first time.
The Hollywood star, best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk in "Star Trek," will be on Blue Origin's next rocket launch on October 12, the space company confirmed on Monday.
It will be the company's second space-tourism launch since its founder Jeff Bezos traveled into space in July, 2021. The journey will take about 11 minutes and will carry the New Shepard's four passengers past the Kármán Line, an internationally-recognized boundary that defines outer space.
90 -year-old Shatner will become the oldest person to travel into space, after Blue Origin broke the record a few months earlier when 82-year-old Wally Funk joined Bezos, the billionaire's brother Mark Bezos, and 19-year-old Oliver Daemen in the New Shepard capsule.
Blue Origin said Shatner will be joined by Audrey Powers, the space venture's vice president of mission and flight operations. Last week, Blue Origin announced the first two of the members of the group of amateur astronauts, naming Chris Boshuizen, an Australian former NASA engineer, and Glen de Vries, the founder of clinical research platform Medidata Solutions.
Shatner first took on the role of Captain James T. Kirk in 1966 - for the Star trek TV series, the show that many NASA astronauts credited with igniting their love of space. He also played the role as the captain of the USS Enterprise in seven movies.
"I've heard about space for a long time now," Shatner said in the space company's press release.
"I'm taking the opportunity to see it for myself. What a miracle."
