William Shatner, famous for portraying Capt. James Kirk in the Star Trek franchise, said he broke into tears following his October Blue Origin space flight when he thought about climate change.
"It took me hours to understand what it was, why I was weeping," he said."I realized I was in grief. I was grieving for the destruction of the Earth."
Shatner, 91, was part of a four-person group that launched into space for 11 minutes aboard a New Shepard rocket, according to a report.After the flight, Shatner was visibly emotional. When he landed, he told Jeff Bezos, the founder of Blue Origin, he wished to"never recover from this.""It's going to get worse! It's like somebody owing money on a mortgage, and they don't have the payments and they think, 'Oh well, let's go to dinner and not think about it.'"
At the age of 90, Shatner became the oldest person to travel in a rocket to space as part of the Blue Origin flight."I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, diverting myself in now & then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me," Shatner tweeted after landing.
