We want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to our fellow US citizens, and a...pleasant autumn? to all the rest! It's a time for us to reflect on what we're grateful for, and on Planet 8, we are grateful for the work and life of Captain James T. Kirk himself, WIlliam Shatner. Although our admiration began with his Star Trek role, it certainly didn't end there. Through his many other  acting roles, and his other endeavors, such as his recording career, on to his amazing journey into space on Blue Origin, Shatner has spent his 91 years making the most of life. That's something we truly admire about him.

We hope you'll enjoy this episode as we share all the things we love about The Man, William Shatner!

For our Sensor Sweep, Commander Larry shares Shatner's newest book, Boldly Go, which shares Shatner's thoughts about life and the universe. You can get it from your local bookseller now!

We also want to note some memorable passings: Kazuki Omori, director of Godzilla films; Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman from Batman the Animated Series and Justice League; and Robert Clary, who played LeBeau on Hogan's Heroes. May they rest in peace.

Thanks for stopping by! Please let us know your thoughts on Mr. Shatner, or anything else! You can find us at:
