    Former Star Trek co-stars William Shatner (right) and George Takei (left) have been hating on each other for decades.

    Takei once said in 2019 that his dream dinner party would include the Star Trek cast with “one exception”, obviously referring to Shatner.

    Their latest feud comes after 90-year-old Shatner’s recent space expedition on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket, making him the oldest person to fly to space.

    Last week, Takei, 84, took a jab at his old foe, chirping that Shatner was “boldly going where other people have gone before”:

    “He’s a guinea pig, 90 years old and it’s important to find out what happens.”

    “So 90 years old is going to show a great deal more on the wear and tear on the human body, so he’ll be a good specimen to study,” Takei said.

    “Although he’s not the fittest specimen of 90 years old, so he’ll be a specimen that’s unfit!”

    Two days after coming down from space, Shatner clapped back, telling Takei not to hate:

    Don’t hate George. The only time he gets press is when he talks bad about me. He claims 50+ years ago I took away a camera angle that denied him 30 more seconds of prime time TV. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m giving it back to him now by letting him spew his hatred for the world to see!🤣 Bill the 🐷

    Neil deGrasse Tyson explained that Shatner’s age wouldn’t affect his flight, according to Insider.

    Meanwhile, Prince William has also openly criticised Shatner and the ‘billionaires’ space race’, saying that they should rather focus on fixing Earth’s problems first:

    “The idea the space race is on at the moment, we’ve seen everyone trying to get space tourism going — it’s the idea that we need some of the world’s greatest brains and minds fixed on trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live,” William [said].

    Shatner responded that the British monarch was “missing the point”, clarifying that the point is that “you can send somebody like me up into space”.

    While Shatner does his best to validate his age and space adventure, and while the billionaires scheme their next PR move to make commercial space travel a thing, the world continues to face an environmental catastrophe.
