#1 After over 1/2 a century of playing a Star Trek Ship Capt.
He finally ALMOST made it into Space.

Note: So he just made it into the Thermosphere. But isn't Exosphere is the upper limit of our atmosphere and space starts around 10,000km where the atmosphere ends doesn't it?.


Either way, it must have been a hell of a ride and a life time experience.

#5 To me it's making good on all these decades of having played the part for us ala Galaxy Quest. Even now, at 90 yrs old, he took those G's like it was his job. His reaction upon landing - priceless.
