William Shatner felt a sense of \u0022grief\u0022 when he went up into space.
The 91-year-old actor – who is known for his starring role as Captain Kirk in the Star Trek franchise – became the oldest person ever to reach space when he blasted off on Jeff Bezos’s New Shepard NS-18 rocket in October 2021 but has revealed that the experience wasn’t as “beautiful” as he thought it was going to be.
The Boston Legal star went on to compare the feeling of being in space to being “at a funeral” and explained that he was experiencing a common feeling known as the “Overview Effect.”, he added: “My trip to space was supposed to be a celebration; instead, it felt like a funeral. It is called the ‘Overview Effect’ and is not uncommon among astronauts, including Yuri Gagarin, Michael Collins, Sally Ride, and many others.
