I really didn't think that would happen in the end.

Can you imagine the PR nightmare if they'd accidentally gotten Bill Shatner killed?

But I'm guessing that they made sure beforehand that he was healthy enough to make the trip - though the national publicity didn't do them any harm. And didn't they send Walter Cronkite and John Glenn up too??
