(1,665 posts)in a red uniform, you are very likely to die. Their uniforms were altered to be red and have the Star Trek Federation insignia on them so its playing into that joke. (Because William Shatner famously played a starship captain on Star Trek, and will be going on a mission to space with those other people.)

It's not looking good for the astronauts accompanying Shatner.
