William Shatner won’t return to space — it would be like ‘revisiting a love affair’

Shatner returned to Earth consumed with feelings of “grief.”He compared going back on a galactic journey to “revisiting a love affair” and told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that he should probably “let it alone.”Shatner’s deep connection to space exploration began more than 50 years ago when he starred as Captain James T. Kirk on the legendary television series, “Star Trek.”His celestial affinity may be written in the stars now that he has plans to stay grounded for the foreseeable future, but Shatner will not stay away from interplanetary drama for too long as the host of the new FOX unscripted series, “Stars on Mars.”In 2021, Shatner made history when he became the oldest living person to travel into space during an 11-minute trek aboard the New Shepard spacecraft. He was 90 years old.“What I experienced was not so much the flight into space, but my observation,” he recalled.
