Shatner Refuses Free Space Trip

William Shatner has refused a free space trip on the inaugural flight of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic in 2008. Coincidentally, the ship will be named the VSS Enterprise, as a tribute to "Star Trek." Shatner was quoted by The Sun as saying, "I'm interested in man's march into the unknown but to vomit in space is not my idea of a good time. Neither is a fiery crash with the vomit hovering over me." Kirk is apparently turning into a pussy in his old age. Of course, he'll look like a genius if the inaugural flight does turn into a pyrotechnic display.
