Summary

An icon in the flesh, after seventy years in the spotlight, Williams Shatner continues to live long and prosper. William shares over 90 years worth of wisdom, drawn together from a life of incredible experiences— from exploring the final frontier on camera, to real-life space travel. He and Dan explore the beauty of our planet, cosmic joke of our brief existence on it, and the unifying grief all humans share. They also look back on the enduring legacy of Star Trek, the way it forever revolutionized fan culture, and how it continues to change his life and countless others for generations.
