Captain Kirk, William Shatner, flies into space with the Blue Origin

The new frontier of space – the one evoked in the opening theme of each episode of the cult series Star Trek – is the flight that in the American morning (8.30 in Texas, 4.30 in the Italian afternoon) will combine reality and fiction, transporting the actor into space. William Shatner. Just the captain James Tiberius Kirk of the famous TV saga, who at the age of 90 will finally travel among the stars: after having only pretended to cross hyperspace for at least 79 episodes of that serial that, starting from 1966, revolutionized television, one of the first to have actors of different ethnicities, and the pop imagery of Americans.
