4. There is nothing bold about space tourism

I understand why Shatner is going. But to call this bold is ridiculous.

5. It's just tongue-in-cheek

the original Star Trek had "to boldly go" as part of its intro.

6. Yes. I understand that

It's just not appropriate for this situation.

7. It's all about clicks n/t

11. Do you expect strict adherence to formal language in all headlines?

If so, I can only guess how much times you spend in fruitless frustration.

Good luck!

8. Wonder if he'll take his SoClean machine?

Or just a phaser.

10. One thing about him

he has always kept himself active and I suppose, in good health.

Considering how active he is on twitter, he hasn't said a peep about, although I suppose it's because he's hawking his latest album.
