He is 90 . He is Living and thriving also. He is full of life. I’m happy for you Sir.

[lynnquin]

I loved that William Shatner was glued to the window while the others just goofed around with weightlessness. He truly experienced something that was profound to him.

[larryjohnson]

Shatner was the right man to send up there, he has lived long and prospered. So inspiring.

[eclecticjulie]

He had a divine experience up there. He tried sharing his epiphany in hopes it would sink in. They didn't let it sink in. He's got a powerful message here.

I wish Leonard Nimoy was still alive. And he and shatner went into space together.

Shatner just reminds me that the elderly while having older bodies still have the spirit of 30 year olds. We need to remember this when speaking to the elderly. It's a sad fact of life. You can feel young inside but you are trapped in a body that is aging.

[setolucifer]

The man seems like he's still in his 60s. He's aging so well.

[mattphoenix]

If only Leonard Nimoy had lived long enough to go up there with him…
live long and prosper

[Ack]

Is anyone else tripping out that this man is 90 this is exactly how I strive to be if I was his age.

[koshka]

Still can't believe he's 90 years old.
Best 90 year old I've ever seen.
If he said he was 60, I'd believe him.

“And then you came back down to earth.”
“Yeah, unfortunately.”
Felt that.

"That was death, and this was life".... precisely something Kirk would say and Spock would take up in debate.

[skatetoexplorevideos]

he looks and sounds good for a 90 year old. i won't be surprised if he lives past 100 easily.

“…I don’t want to throw skittles I want to look out the window “
-William Shatner 2021

[anniesshenanigans]

the images of them playing around in the ship and he was just trying to look out the window.. priceless.

[TEKNOFIED]

I wish McCoy and Spock were here. Is what I was hoping he would say.

[Factnomenal]

Shatner is still crushing life at 90 years old! Coolest grampy I've ever seen! 👨🏻‍🚀

[Bog]

90 years old but he looks and talks like he's half his age, incredible

[sinhafamily]

He is so smart and witty, and his brain is so active and fertile even at 90.

[BetterEveryDayYouTube]

He doesn't seem like he is 90. Bless his heart. What an incredible experience!
