Star Trek’s William Shatner would travel into space with Elon Musk
Billionaire Elon Musk created SpaceX and OpenAI in the hopes of one day colonizing faraway planets and exploring the stars — a mission that has long defined Star Trek. As far as achievements go, if Musk were a member of Starfleet, he would be a science officer, but is he good enough to be a member of the Enterprise crew?

William Shatner, who originated the iconic role Captain Kirk on the original series, said he would love to go into space with Musk, provided he sits next to him during the trip. Shatner tweeted, “I’ll hold his hand during takeoff as an added bonus!”
Founded in 2002, Musk’s SpaceX is creating new generation spacecrafts and rovers made to explore the surface of Mars. He sent the liquid-propellant Falcon 1 into orbit in 2008, and the second Dragon into the International Space Station in 2012. One of SpaceX’s Falcons was able to orbit the sun; the other engineered the first-ever propulsive landing of any orbital rocket. Musk is working on an upgraded version of the Dragon, to better transport astronauts into space and return them safely to Earth.
