William Shatner jokes with crowd at New York Comic Con about space flight: 'I'm Captain Kirk and I'm terrified'

William Shatner spoke to a crowd at New York Comic Con on Thursday evening, just days before he will blast into space on a sub-orbital flight.

"'You know, they are starting to send these rockets up with people into space. Wouldn't it be something if Captain Kirk went up there,'" Ehrlich said to Shatner. "So finally they came to me on the second thing. They said 'all right, how would you like to go up. You'll be the oldest guy in space,'" Shatner recounted. "I don't want to be known as the oldest guy. I'm bloody Captain Kirk!""It's mind-numbingly endless," he said of the scenery. "You drive 100 miles and then you get to a little town called Van Horn, and then you turn left. And you drive another 50 miles.
