Congratulations to William Shatner and his fellow passengers Chris Boshuizen, Audrey Powers and Glen de Vries on this morning's successful New Shepard launch on Blue Origin's NS-18 flight!

At the age of 90, Shatner is now the oldest individual to have ventured beyond the Kármán line...the internationally-accepted boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space.

With Star Trek's most famous actor now having gotten a taste of actual spaceflight, when will a Star Wars icon like Mark Hamill follow suit?

I'm a bigger fan of that "galaxy far far away" than I am of the United Federation of Planets, so I would really like to know!
