Jeff Bezos' space travel company, Blue Origin, announced Monday that Star Trek actor William Shatner will blast off from West Texas on October 12. He'll join three others — two of them paying customers — aboard a Blue Origin capsule. That seat cost $28 million; Blue Origin isn't divulging any other ticket prices. Blue Origin said it doesn't tolerate harassment or discrimination and stood by its safety record. Blue Origin was unsuccessful in its bid for the job.
