Shatner Aims for Real 'Star Trek'

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the beyond-lance-bass dept.

swight1701 writes "William Shatner wants to boldly go where he's only pretended to go so far. The 'Star Trek' star is among more than 7,000 people who have told Richard Branson they would gladly pay him $210,000 (£115,000) for a trip aboard his planned spacecraft. In all, more than $1.45 billion (£800 million) has been pledged -- years before the Virgin Galactic spaceship is even built, Branson said. I wonder did Shatner sign up because the first ship will be the VSS Enterprise?"

    Is this a slow news day or something? Or does slashdot plan on reporting the other thousands of people who plan on going into space individually as well?
